It is extremely disappointing that our government places so little importance on preserving our natural environment for all.
The removal of these lands from public access and into private hands is totally unacceptable. Once it’s gone it’s gone. Everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy this area now and into the future.

In addition, Wasaga Beach is one of the most important nesting sites for the endangered Piping Plover in Ontario. The Ontario Government must ensure that Piping Plovers are conserved and protected for future generations. A science-based management plan and resources to reduce the threats to Piping Plovers and their habitat year-round should be employed. This should include restricting mechanical raking so that the habitat is not destroyed, prohibiting dune alteration, and protecting nests with fenced buffer zones and natural predator mitigations.

The pandemic demonstrated just how important the natural world was for the public. Please consider the needs of future generations and allow them the same opportunities.
