McRae Beach Association Objection to proposed Fixed Link Project

On behalf of the McRae Beach Association, which membership includes approximately 150 residential homes and cottages, we would like to state our unanimous objection to the proposed Fixed Link project, and hereto file our comments.  

We believe that there will be significant ecological and environmental repercussions should this Fixed Link be allowed to be constructed as presented. The McRae Beach Association, in agreement with the Lake Simcoe South Shore Residents Association (LSSSRA), urges Impact Assessment of Canada, the Minister and staff at Environment Canada to require a full and complete Environmental Assessment.  We are also concerned that very few alternatives to the proposed Fixed Link were properly researched or presented. It is important in a project of this size with so many environmental concerns and stakeholders involved, that all viable alternatives be properly researched, presented and assessed in advance of any decision.  Thank you for taking our concerns seriously.  

Jane Kidner, McRae Beach Association President
