The removal of environmentally sensitive areas from parks and conservation areas for the purposes of business and tourism compromises endangered and protected species. This is a slippery slope that indicates governmental disdain for our environment and the welfare of our planet. Read more

I am deeply opposed to the proposed sale of any designated provincial parkland in Wasaga Beach. Ford nor his government own our Provincial Parks, Ontarians do and therefore, this proposal should be subject to a provincial referendum to let the people decide. Read more

Provincial Parks belong to all of us and opening them up for private development cannot be tolerated. If we think this is being done for anything other than short-sighted financial reasons, we are fooling ourselves. A precedent is being set here that cannot stand. Read more

Wasaga Beach and all provincial parks and endangered species are hands off to you, Doug Ford! Leave our beautiful parks and beaches alone! I want to call you Donald Trump because of your blatant disregard for our natural parks and wildlife. You have no right! Read more

It's appalling that the provincial government is transferring (selling off) land that has been set aside for different purposes. Land under Ontario Parks have stated values to help protect the natural environment and educate visitors. Read more

Do not destroy our provincial parks and more specifically Wasaga Beach. Provincial parks are meant for all to enjoy not just those that can afford to buy part of them. Read more

Wasaga Beach should be remain a protected area. There are many things more valuable than money. Once lost, some things are irreplaceable. Money doesn’t buy everything, it just appeases those who have nothing else.

I am concerned about the proposal to develop Wasaga Beach. Wasaga Beach is home to habitats that support the Piping Plover which is an endangered species. Developing these lands put this species at even further risk, rather than protecting it. Read more
