Comment
It is appalling that the Town of Wasaga Beach is proposing this Tourism Enhancement Proposal as many ecological valuable lands and elements would be lost or negatively impacted:
- Piping plover habitat, which is listed as endangered under both the federal Species at Risk Act and the provincial Endangered Species Act.
- Mature sand dunes, which provide important ecological and stabilizing functions including providing a protective buffer against high water, wind and storm events for private or adjacent lands, which is an important role as the climate changes.
- Significant vegetation communities and provincially significant wetlands.
“The Point” located in Beach Area 1 which is one of those targeted to be removed is designated as a provincially significant earth science Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI)
