Absolutely disagree with allowing Wasaga township to take over the provincial parks for development. A huge mistake to even consider it. Save our parklands and let them remain provincial. - they belong to the people of Ontario and not future developers
I am completely opposed to the changes to the Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserves Act (PPCRA) which would allow the sale of Wasaga Beach Parkland.
The proposed sale of Wasaga Beach Park land needs to be abandoned.

Wassaga beach and its municipality have long been a popular destination for Ontarians to enjoy. Ontario place and Trillium Park had been a popular destination for festivals, picnics, and recreation until the province signed a misleading contract with Therme.

I live in Wasaga Beach and my family has had roots here since the 1960s. I am tired of development bringing in an influx of new people. We do not have the necessary infrastructure to support increased tourism or adding new long-term residences.

As a wasaga resident I would hate to see the beautiful waterfront as well as the millions of dollars in tourism go to useless land ownership and buildings that don’t benifit anyone but the rich
Please put the environment first! Once it’s gone it’s gone. The Ontario place lands have been destroyed with every tree removed and a huge car park going in even though right across the street there are the exhibition lands which could allow parking.

Please keep beach area one, 2 and new wasaga beach under the provincial park jurisdiction. We cant trust politicians that change every 4 years. One council approves this and the next council does that. We dont need more development at the waters edge.

The park is important and popular among the ontario of people and is a public good. Reducing its size will be a step backward that can't be undone, this land is for everyone to enjoy and to protect the nature in this area. Leave the park alone, in the intrest of ontarians.
The removal of lands from Wasaga Beach Provincial Park - a location with over 1.3 million annual visitors - is unacceptable.
We KNOW that developers are required to make profits, and that they will act in accordance with that and not with the public interest.

As an avid user in Ontario Parks, it is extremely sad to see a proposals that looks to decrease the size of any provincial park. The government that had the foresight to protect these areas have provided the people of Ontario with such a valuable resource.

By transferring this land to the Town of Wasaga Beach it would cause more development to take place, destroying vital green space. This provincial park currently promotes diverse wildlife, which would be reduced by any development in this area.

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.

I strongly oppose this proposal. This park should be protected for recreational uses and the rich biodiversity it holds including several species at risk. Hands off Wasaga !
Absolutely not to this proposal. Stop messing with our provincial parks, natural areas and protected areas. We’re in a climate crisis and you can’t eat money.
Signed,
A very frustrated Ontarian
