Public Consultation Survey on New Protected Areas
There are new important lands proposed for protection. These new lands are key to our wildlife corridors from the Halifax Backlands and may share some of the wear and tear of human traffic.
Share the Care of Williams Lake
Water testing is expensive despite our sampling being done by experienced and unpaid WLCC volunteers. These samples are critically analyzed to Health Canada standards by a certified local laboratory. Our volunteers then record, track and monitor these results – continuously for the past 25 years! The WLCC board acts on these test results to continue to protect the lake and the HRM community which loves this lake.
Backlands Land Protection
The Nova Scotia government is currently considering a proposal to permanently protect a 505-hectare area of Crown Land in the Halifax Backlands wilderness area in Spryfield, pending public consultation!
