I am heart broken that some of the remaning natural beauty and wildlife habitat will be destroyed for wealthy developers, preventing everyday people and visitors from experiencing Wasaga Beach.

Wasaga Beach is home to beautiful and rare sand dune environments as well as one of the last remaning Piping Plover nesting sites. Please protect them, they matter and deserve to be protected. They have nesting in Wasaga Beach longer than settlers have colonized the area.

Ecological values in the The Wasaga Beach Provincial Park lands to be lost include:

Known 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).

Shame on the Town of Wasaga Beach!
