I am strongly opposed to the proposal. While I understand the desire to add amenities that could support the tourism industry in Wasaga Beach, the answer is not to take land already designated as a provincial park.

Provincial parks exist for the benefit of all Ontarians, not as a pool upon which developers can draw. This land is important habitat for numerous species, and gives Ontarians and external visitors the opportunity to engage with our incredible natural shoreline habitats. Preserving habitat for future generations is more important than a shortsighted drive for profit and economic growth, particularly as environmental protections for natural spaces have already been significantly weakened by the recent passing of Bill 5.
