This proposal seems to be about driving tourism and investment in the area of Wasaga Beach. However, it seems to me that if we begin down sizing our provincial parks for economic growth we set a precedent that could have farther reaching impacts than just Wasaga Beach. Provincial Parks and conservation areas are for the public now and for future generations, they are for conserving crucial habitat for flora and fauna. In a world overrun with human noise and infrastructure we need to consciously choose to protect and hold dear the wild places that are left. I don’t believe that tourism and investment is a good enough reason to reduce the size of a protected area.
