Beach O' Pines is a private gated community located on the shores of Lake Huron in Lambton County, Ontario, Canada.
In 1929, Frank Salter (a well-known developer from Detroit, Michigan) and several friends found themselves in Grand Bend taking shelter from a storm.
Restrictive covenants were inserted by the developer in the deeds of transfer that limited ownership to the properties inside Beach O' Pines based upon ethnic origin until August 1962.
[5] However, it was finally overturned by the Supreme Court of Canada in a vote of six to one in Noble v Alley, holding that the clause was void for uncertainty: the precise meaning of its stipulations about "race or blood" could not be determined.
We believe that the collective sum of the individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, innovation, self-expression, and talents that our members bring to Beach O' Pines strengthens our community.
