In reaction to the Sturgeon River Crossing Proposal as part of the Sudbury Forest Management Plan, FOT has responded with three letters that address our concerns.
FOT has reviewed the proposal in depth and has concluded that a new crossing would negatively effect the Park. The principle behind our decision is the fact that this particular stretch of river is truly the last stretch of untouched wilderness in the Sturgeon River Waterway Park, and needs to stay that way.

Letter addressed to Ontario Parks (OP) serving notice to OP outlining our objections to the crossing in more detail in an effort to provide as much information as we can to OP to help them to develop counter arguments to the bridge proposal.
We are anticipating further communications in the coming months, we will keep members posted. If there is an EBR for the new crossing, we will need member support. Keep watching! We'll send details when the time is right. |
