PUBB has recently become aware of and associated with the Ontario Shorewalk Association. This group was formed in Fort Erie where problems with shoreline access are similar to those in Balm Beach. They have become very active and have contacted other groups accross the province to coordinate efforts to have the province address the issue. For PUBB, the discovery of the Shorewalk group was good news and bad news. The good news is that we are not alone, there are others in the province who share our concerns. This means a larger voice at Queen's Park. The bad news is that there are other groups in the province who have the same problems. The public is restricted from shoreline access in a growing number of areas. Shorewalk has identified groups on Lakes Erie, Ontario, Huron and Georgian Bay (us).
PUBB will be meeting with shorewalk and the other groups over the next few months to plan strategy.
We encourage you to visit their web site at www.shorewalk.ca, learn about what they are doing and become a free non-voting member of the association.
