As reported on this blog last year, MPP Kim Craitor introduced the Great Lakes Shoreline Right of Passage Act. Unfortunately this bill was introduced to late in the session to receive more attention than first reading.
Mr. Craitor promised that, if re-elected, he would reintroduce the bill in the new session. Well, he was re-elected and he reintroduced the bill in March.
The next challenge is to get the bill past second reading before it goes to committee. For this to happen, it needs a good base of support from the MPP’s.
We ask you to contact your MPP and seek their support for this bill. It will not solve all the problems at Balm Beach but it will certainly help. In your messages you can explain how private interests are slowly denying public use of beaches which have been previously accessible for generations. You should also explain how the fence has affected your enjoyment of Balm Beach.
To see a copy of the bill, go to www.ontla.on.ca and take the following path:
Home > Bills & Lawmaking > Current Parliament > Bill 43, Great Lakes Shoreline Right of Passage Act, 2008
Your support in this way is important in helping our efforts to have the fence removed. Please act.
