  • I urge you to clearly demonstrate the town’s commitment to protecting the plovers’ fragile home by establishing a strong legal framework, such as a conservation easement, and dedicating resources to maintain scientifically-sound habitat protection and threat mitigation in perpetuity.
  • The last 18 years of successful piping plover breeding at Wasaga Beach shows that the nesting habitat is of high quality, and the human efforts to support these birds while balancing beach tourism and conservation, is working.  Please continue to follow the leadership of experts in the field, such as Birds Canada, to inform a legal framework and action plan for continued protection.
  • High-quality habitat for piping plovers isn’t easy to find anymore because natural beaches with a mix of vegetation, dunes, and wrack materials, all necessary for shelter and food, are rare.If piping plovers lose their home at Wasaga Beach, they have nowhere else to go.
  • Please do the right thing: set up a legal framework, dedicated funding and  staff for piping plover habitat protections on Wasaga Beach.
