Protected areas are very important for the following reasons and we applaud the expansion of them:
-Protected areas offer a practical and effective approach to conserving biodiversity and ecosystems that sustain us, while enhancing our resilience.

The Boyne Valley Provincial Park expansion is great! The immediate concern however is that when you open up the whole park to hunting you are putting 524 children's lives at risk. What doesn't show on your map is that a K to 8 elementary school directly abuts the boundary.

I am in favour expanding Boyne Provincial Park, but I am strongly OPPOSED to allowing hunting within its boundaries. I use Provincial Parks to explore nature. Neither I nor anyone else should be put in danger by allowing hunting.
I am strongly opposed to this legislation. To allow hunting where citizens use the land for recreation should not be allowed. This governmet is doing it’s best to take land away from citizens and reallocate it to special interest groups.

Great job in expanding protected areas. I am an avid hiker especially of the Bruce Trail. My concern is with the proposed hunting in Boyne Valley Provincial Park that will compromise the safety of the many people that hike through there.

I believe this is a great initiative for nature conservation and for increasing access to nature-based recreation in Ontario. I enjoy hiking, trail running and mountain biking in our parks and on our trails within the region.

Our organization believes that elevating the protection status of these provincial lands is very important and that it sets a great conservation and stewardship example for municipalities, private land owners and businesses across Ontario.

I believe this iniatiave is a fantastic idea for nature and people. It is important to protect as much land and water in Ontario as possible to prevent biodiversity loss and to increase people's access to nature-based recreation.

I strongly back this proposal - it is to preserve the natural gifts of our province and ensure access to outdoor recreation in Ontario. Being able to hike, bike, run etc.

I am an active cross-country skier and hiking in the Kolapore Uplands.
I suuprt heatily the current policy of resticting winter use to cross-country skiing only to support the rare back-country cross-country skiing there affords.
Please ensure the policy is maintained.
Thanks.

I've been going to Kolapore since moving into the area in 2010 and we have raised our kids on the trail system both summer and winter. We have been volunteers and have benefited from the great community that currently works to preserve this special places.

As a resident in the Kolapore uplands and an active user of the trail system and member of the Kolapore Wilderness Trail Association, I would like to make sure that this land is protected from any motorized use as we have seen firsthand the degradation from ATVs in the area.

Who in their right mind would consider putting a hunting grounds or permitting hunting in the vicinity of a school?! The Boyne Valley provincial Park is located next to an elementary school with more than 500 children attend attending it.

I absolutely support the expansion of provincially protected green spaces in and around Southern Georgian Bay. This is an area rich in biodiversity and an area experiencing rapid economic and population growth.
