This proposal will have a strong impact on the survival of the pipping plover species and may make it harder for conservation efforts to stay in place. This species of shore birds is only now just improving in numbers while still being on the brink of being considered endangered.

I am strongly opposed to this change. Tourism is strong and always has been in this area. We do not need to make these changes. Please leave this native beauty as it is. Thank you.
To transfer this land away from Ontario Parks:
A) sets a dangerous precedent for our beautiful Ontario Parks. Which one is next? What protected land will be given to the highest bidder for development?

Provincial parks are to be protected forever? Allowing development on this provincial park sets a president for future - will any provincial parks be safe? Provincial government pushes affordable housing and yet seems to fall short on delivery.

In the current state of the world amending hos act to make it easier to develop over crucial land and ecosystems is possibly the worst decision we can make.

I am opposed to allowing the government to make legislative amendments to the Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserves Act (PPCRA) that protects all of Ontario Parks and Conservation Reserves. The PPCRA currently requires that elected MPPs approve any significant removal of provincial park land.

Please take measures to preserve the plovers at Wasaga Beach and that help them thrive. Use the expertise of existing groups who focus on bird well being--like Birds Canada--for a management plan.
I do not support the sale of Wasaga Beach. The area needs to remain as a designated provincial land publicly owned for all . The property needs to be protected for the sake of the piping plover and other species.
I highly oppose the proposal to sell Wasaga beach property to property developers who will ruin the ecosystem at the cost of taxpayers.
The government should be focusing on health care and education but are more interested in property deals that only benefit a small group of people

I do NOT support the Wasaga Beach tourism enhancement proposal. Wasaga Beach is a critical habitat for endangered species such as the piping plover and needs to protected in order to sustain this species as well as many others that use this area.
I am writing to express my concern regarding this land transfer agreement. My concern primarily lies with the protection and management of important Piping Plover habitat that is located on this stretch of Wasaga Beach.

1) I do NOT support MECP's proposed legislative amendments to the PPCRA to remove portions of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park including the removal of all of Beach Areas 1, 2, New Wasaga and Allenwood Beach.

I am a long time resident of Wasaga Beach and whole hearty do not support this proposal to the degree I will be selling my home and moving if it goes through. I moved here from another community riddled this waterfront ownership battles and don't want to re-live that here in Wasaga Beach.

As a resident of Wasaga Beach of 23 years, I oppose the selling of protected park land and am affronted by the provincial and municipal government's insistence and preparedness to do so.

Private sale has almost always led to a net negative of those living in the affected areas. What once was a respite for many becomes a commodity to the privileged few.

As a resident of Wasaga Beach, I strongly oppose the proposed transfer of park land to the municipality. This land is a critical public asset that safeguards valuable natural resources, including sensitive ecosystems and the water system that feeds into Wasaga Beach’s freshwater areas.

I am opposed to the sale of Wasaga Beach. Over the past couple of decades, we have proof of the value of our ecosystem, and disrupting it the way Ford suggests is deplorable and embarrassing.
This proposed transfer of land severely impacts a beloved species at risk, the piping plover, as well as the people who use this land for many recreational uses.

This proposal is absolutely ridiculous and not something our government should be prioritizing at this time. We need more parks and public lands, not more greed and privatization - especially when endangered species are involved. Shame on the Ford government for this proposal.
