When inadvertently dialing 911 on your cell phone, please remember you are activating an emergency service.

In doing so, emergency personnel are committed to determining the origin and extent of the emergency that may be happening.

This means they have to locate the individual who inadvertently dialed 911.

This response can draw needed resources away from actual emergencies. To prevent this please, when not using your phone, lock it so that unintentional calls do not happen.

If you do dial 911 by mistake, please do not hang up on the operator. Explain the call is in fact not an emergency, tell the operator where you are and stay there. This is because an officer must attend your location to determine an emergency is not taking place.

By hanging up or leaving your current location, you create a situation where emergency services must try to locate you, and in the process tie up precious resources.

Only you can stop 911 misdials.

Did you know the OPP has an online crime reporting site?

GENERAL STORE From the Historical Advisory Committee. Charlie Eberhardt opened the original Eberhardt Store around 1911. The general store was a small, wooden building with a good-sized front porch. Inside it held all the items that members of the small but growing community of Wasaga Beach required. Charlie would travel in his boat, the Russell E, to Collingwood and bring back supplies for the store. Locals and tourists could purchase groceries, stove and lamp oil, boots, shoes, clothing, yard goods, thread, items for their households, such as lamps, dishes, utensils. Eberhardt’s sold fresh fish and you could purchase ice from their ice hut, built on River Road West. As the population grew so did the need for space in the store. The store became a two-storey building, with rooms to rent upstairs for tourists in the summer and other travellers over the year. During the fall, winter and early spring one of the upstairs rooms became a school for the children of Wasaga Beach’s year-round residents. The store was located on the northeast bank of the Nottawasaga River.
