I am making this submission as a full-time resident of the Town of Wasaga Beach (43 years). For 18 of those years I worked as a Natural Resources Management Planner both in the public sector and as a consultant.

I am contacting you as a constituent to voice my deep concern with the proposed legislative changes to the Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserves Act, 2006, and Historical Parks Act to support the Town for Wasaga Beach’s Tourism Enhancement Proposal outlined in ERO: 025-0694.

I am writing to express my deep concern and strong opposition to the proposed “Tourism Enhancement Proposal” for Wasaga Beach Provincial Park.

I strongly oppose the proposed removal of 645 acres from Wasaga Beach Provincial Park. This park is an ecological treasure, providing habitat for endangered species and attracting over 1.3 million visitors annually to enjoy the world’s longest freshwater beach.

As someone who has lived in Collingwood and spent many summers at Wasaga beach - all the beaches from beach 1 down to the dog beach, I am devastated to learn of the news of selling off public protected park land to private developers.

I am opposed to selling off parts of Ontario’s provincial parks for development. There is ample already serviced land within municipalities to accommodate new homes and businesses without having to sacrifice parts of our precious provincial parks which are for the enjoyment of all Ontarians.

I am not a resident of Wasaga but have been a visitor to the area for many years. Each visit in the last few years seems to show more urbanization and less of the distinctness of the wonderful beach and park land that was the attraction to go there.

If the government is "protecting Ontario", it should also be protecting nature and natural areas in Ontario, as well as Ontarian's that value such things. Provincial parks should be protected in perpetuity, and wildlife like the Piping Plover should be respected and protected as well.

I ask the Ford government Immediately stop the sale of 645 acres of Wasaga Provincial Park; to not amend the Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserves Act; and to recognize its responsibility to hold Provincial Park lands in trust for future generations.
Wasaga Beach Mayor Brian Smith said that “Wasaga Beach and Nancy Island are unique in the world," and he is correct, as the longest freshwater beach in the world it is an incredibly unique habitat and ecological wonder in need of unique protection.

We do not support the sale of 60% of our land on Wasaga's beachfront to private developers.
This land belongs to the people of Ontario and should not be privatized for the benefit of a small group of people.

Wasaga Beach Provincial Park isn’t just a summer destination, it’s one of the last remaining nesting grounds for the endangered Piping Plover in Ontario. These tiny shorebirds have made a fragile comeback since 2007, thanks to years of careful stewardship and protection.

We need to keep the Provincial Park protected and out of the hands of people who want to build on it. This park is detrimental to the wildlife and ecosystems of Wasaga Beach. You already have a disgusting hotel being built you don't need condos.

I've lived in Wasaga Beach for 25 years and have watched the Beach area of the provincial park degrade year after year. The plot across from my house, which is called a calming zone, within the park has 6 foot high weeds and is infested with ticks as a result.
