Functions, occupations and activities
The Burlington Beach Commission provided an appointed form of municipal government to the cottage and recreational portion of Saltfleet Township, Ontario, bounded by the Burlington Canal. The lack of control on the development of this area had caused concerns amongst local property owners who felt that Saltfleet Township did not have the ability to exercise its authority over the area. The structure was similar to that of a Local Improvement District.
