Regarding opening up sections of the Wasaga Beach Provincial Park for potential development or for that matter any other use than what it is presently is short sighted planning and abusing the original designation of this land .
Green space in Ontario , that is open to the general public , is presently not enough to meet the growing demands of a growing population . The pandemic proved that the present assortment of Provincial Parks and conservation areas , and their infrastructure , were inadequate to provide open , pubic areas for people needing to be outdoors in a safe environment . This past weekend (Aug 1,2025 ) the local Provincial Park was closed due to it had reached capacity .
Health benefits of being outdoors are endless and that has been proven time and time again - so consequently reducing the Provincial Parks in size eventually only causes more impact on our over burdened health system.
On top of all these very valid reasons there is the fact that Wasaga Prov. Park is habitat used by the endangered Piping Plover . Habitat destruction leads to biodiversity loss - by reducing the park lands at Wasaga this endangered bird will have it's future seriously jeopardized . We should know in 2025 that " every scrap of biodiversity is priceless , to be learned and cherished and never to be surrendered without a struggle "...EO Wilson - pulitzer prize winning naturalist
