Brights Grove Brights Grove is a small community on the Eastern side of Southern Lake Huron. Being on the shore of the mighty Lake Huron has always made Brights Grove Ontario a tourist destination for fun on it's large beaches. From the early 1900s Brights Grove was a seasonal cottage town and through the ca.1960s & 70s this started to change. Today Brights Grove is a bustling town year round and is growing and is now a part of Sarnia, a new community called Huron Shores. The Brights, Corrinians,Turners and Chongs some of the few original year round families would have never imagined Brights Grove as it has grown today. The shoreline has been recovered and Brights Grove has once again become a beautiful seaside town. There was a great dance hall called Kennwick on the Lake that rocked with the Big Band sound throughout the 30s & 40s. Coupled with the resort tourist  attractions and the night life of a large dance hall , Brights Grove was a wild and happening place. However some time in the late ca.1960s there came a huge storm that wiped out the entire coast of Brights Grove and demolished Kennwick On The Lake, ending a great era.
