I am a concerned citizen demanding that the Ford government withdraw this proposed legislation to amendments to the Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserves Act, 2006 and Historical Parks act, and, in its place, commit to what Ontarians want, a sustained commitment to conserving our precious rema Read more

As a owner of property in New Wasaga Beach which has been our family for over 80 years we are against the transfer of ownership of New Wasaga to Wasaga as fearful of further beach development which will harm the environment and change the Wasaga beach experience. Read more

Please protect this natural habitat, it’s not fair to the birds to take away their home- they don’t know what’s happening and won’t know where else to go! Protect it as if it was your own home being demolished without your permission.

Provincial Parks provide the necessary framework to carry out important conservation efforts in places like this. Any town’s municipal representatives do not have the expertise, the time, or in most cases, the funding to properly administrate the care of such an area. Read more

We do not want to see the Park divided in such a way that it destroys the environment and natural beauty of the area. Wasaga development has already been pushed forward without thinking of how to sustain what is already here and save old growth forests and animal habitats. Read more

I oppose these amendments. Wasaga is critical habitat for endangered piping plover and protecting them and their habitat should be the priority

I am greatly disappointed that the government of Ontario would consider making publicly protected conservation lands open to potential development at a time when our land is burning, and climate change is affecting our daily lives. Read more

With the proposed changes in mind, I think it is unrealistic that the Town of Wasaga Beach will have enough expertise and resources to protect the Piping Plover, if they do even consider protecting the species. Read more

I’m all for enhancing Wasaga Beach’s tourism but the province needs to go back to the drawing board, work with ALL stakeholders and come up with a less damaging proposal that doesn’t significantly reduce the public’s access to one of Ontario’s gems. Read more

The Provincial Park portions of Wasaga Beach MUST remain under the umbrella of Ontario Provincial Parks. These lands must not be transferred to the town of Wasaga Beach. This Province needs more provincial parks not less. Read more

Wasaga beach is an important provincial park, the longest fresh water beach with important endangered wildlife. With climate change on the rise Wasaga beach is of great ecological importance and should be protected and always be a place for community and ecology to thrive. Read more

This is not about 'tourism enhancement.' This is about selling off wild places that belong to the people of Ontario, destroying habitat for wild animals and birds, and making sure that rich developers profit. We aren't going to stand for it. Read more

Canada has signed on to a global agreement to preserve 30% of our land and waters by 2030 - for a reason. Nature is critical to our survival as a species, not to mention all the other species on the planet. Read more

The ON government must continue to protect the Piping Plover habitat. Developers are plowing over critical lands and polluting bodies of water that provide essential living areas for the diverse and unique species that live in our province. Read more

I have visited Wasaga Beach many times during my long life and residence in Ontario and,I plead with government to not sell any part of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park . This part of the lake should continue to be for everyone's use, so much of the lakefront is already owned privately.

I do not support Doug ford removing provincial park land. We want to protect the places we love in this province and to protect the endangered species that live there.
