	AS far as is known The Bruce Beach Summer Resort had its origin in 1894. On the 24th day of May of that year, a picnic party from Ripley met in Mr. William Tout’s grove, which among others comprised the McInnes, Munn, McCrimmon and Jackson families. During the course of the day someone remarked that such an event might be frequently held. Whereupon Mr. Angus Munn suggested a place nearer to the lake, and led the party along the shore to the spot where Rev. Mr. Maxwell’s cottage now stands.

Whereupon Mr. Angus Munn suggested a place nearer to the lake, and led the party along the shore to the spot where Rev. Mr. Maxwell’s cottage now stands.

	During the course of the same day, as the site seemed favorable one, Messrs. Gongia, McInnes, and A. Jackson agreed to pitch a tent there later in the summer, which they accordingly did, and spent the holiday season there, calling the place “Sylvan Beach Home”, which name they had printed on a large streamer.

	DURING that same year also the first cottage was erected by Messrs. Kennedy and Jackson, on the site of the present Anderson cottage. The building was a small double one, with adjacent kitchens, on either side, and part of it is embodied in Mr. Anderson’s present cottage. During the time of their annual holiday upon the Beach, these campers were visited almost every day by Mr. Robert McCosh Sr., whose farm fronted on the lake, and who jokingly called them “The White Indians”. Mr. McCosh was a man with a fine sense of humour, and his daily visit was eagerly looked for by his camping friends.		DURING that same year also the first cottage was erected by Messrs.
