Commentaire

As someone who lives close to Wasaga Beach and visits the provincial park regularly, I strongly oppose removing Nancy Island from Wasaga Beach Provincial Park and removing any parts of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park from the Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserves Act, 2006.

Wasaga Beach Provincial Park belongs to Ontarians, and is not to be sold off for private development, stopping people from being able to access the beach and enjoy Georgian Bay. Ontarians deserve access to our lakes and beaches, not private corporations.

Additionally, Wasaga Beach Provincial Park is one of the last remaining nesting grounds for the endangered Piping Plover in Ontario. These shorebirds have made a fragile comeback since 2007, thanks to years of careful stewardship and protection. The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) needs to continue to ensure that these important grounds are protected and enjoyed by Ontarians.
