Wasaga Beach is PUBLIC LAND NOT PRIVATE.
The Ford government already sold off Ontario Place which was public greenspace to a private company, without the public's vote, and now he's doing it again with Wasaga Beach. This is a reflection of a corrupt and greedy premier and government, and should be illegal as it is not in the best interest of its citizens.
In regards to the endangered Piping Plover:
One of the most important nesting sites for the endangered Piping Plover in Ontario is Wasaga Beach, on the shores of Georgian Bay. The critical natural beach habitat at Wasaga has produced half of the province’s Piping Plover fledglings since 2007. It is also one of the top tourist destinations in the province, welcoming an increasing number of visitors each year, recently exceeding 2 million people annually.
Birds Canada has been leading conservation efforts across Piping Plover nesting sites in Ontario since 2018, striving for a shared vision of healthy beaches for people and wildlife. At Wasaga Beach, we work closely with Ontario Parks to ensure habitat and nests are protected, and to engage the local community through volunteer programs and events like Ploverpalooza.
Wasaga Beach is a conservation and tourism success story, and one we want to see continue.
