Re: Proposed legislative amendments to the Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserves Act, 2006, and Historical Parks Act
Dear Minister McCarthy,

I do not want the government stealing land from provincial parks to build tourist attractions. This is a slippery slope and completely unnecessary and un-Canadian. Hands off, Doug!
I strongly oppose the proposed legislative amendments to the Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserves Act (PPCRA) that would remove significant portions of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park — including Beach Areas 1, 2, New Wasaga, and Allenwood Beach — and transfer them to the Town of Wasaga Beach.

This proposal seems to be about driving tourism and investment in the area of Wasaga Beach. However, it seems to me that if we begin down sizing our provincial parks for economic growth we set a precedent that could have farther reaching impacts than just Wasaga Beach.

Wasaga Beach, Ontario, is home to the world’s longest freshwater beach, stretching over 14 kilometers along the pristine shores of Georgian Bay.

Provincial parks belong to the people of Ontario and are meant to be protected, not sold! While I am concerned about the potential loss of ecologically significant land, I am also concerned about the unspecified amendments that are to be made.

I am very concerned about what these changes will do to the habitat of the piping plover. These birds are endangered and Wasaga Beach is one of the most important habitats for them.

Don't sell part of the Wasaga Beach Provincial Park. Ontario needs environmental sustainability for our collective survival and tourism and economic development are not worth the loss of such environmentally sesitive areas.

I am strongly opposed to the proposed amendments to the Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserves Act to support the Town of Wasaga Beach’s “tourism enhancement proposal” and the transferring of Provincial Park beach to the Town.

As a longtime resident of Simcoe Grey and a frequent visitor to Wasaga Beach, I am vehemently opposed to this proposal. Not only is it detrimental to the ecosystem within the park, but it will set a dangerous precedent going forward.

The fact that the government seems to be stripping away all of these areas for the sake of “economic development” is devastating.
We NEED to protect these places.

All Provincial Parks must remain protected and must NOT be give back to nearby towns or sold off to developers. They are the property of all Ontario citizens and must be preserved in perpetuity.
With increasing need to preserve land in its natural state in order to protect species of flora & fauna, this parcel of land should not be sold but rather, kept as an undeveloped natural environment.

I am writing to express my disapproval of the proposal for the province to sell a large swath of rare beachfront property for the purposes of redevelopment in the town of Wasaga Beach. This proposal raises a number of red flags.

i care about the environment, this proposal threatens our environment and that in turn threatens us as well. I call on the government to strengthen the environmental protections to keep our environment and space safe
