“Creating public access to Williams Lake is a top priority for the WLCC,” says conservation advocate Kathleen Hall, a longtime member of the board of directors. “That is why we are currently following a recent request for zoning change on a 9.4-acre parcel of land on Purcell’s Cove Road that would potentially close an historically significant and well-used path, ‘Lover’s Lane,’ that leads to the shores of Williams Lake. This is an opportunity to work with the developer to preserve this culturally significant path through the HRM “Park Designation” by-law and we are asking to meet with the developer.”

HRM Environmental Committee Report

admin Call for Support, Conservation, Meetings, Notices, Reports & Studies, Watershed, Williams Lake Dam
West end of Williams Lake Sept 2020

HRM’s Environment and Sustainability Standing Committee (ESSC) will consider the Staff Report in response on the remediation of the Williams Lake Dam this Thursday, 3rd February, 2022 to review the report and recommendations.

There are concerns about the availability of public access when levels leave popular entry points high and dry.

See the report and consider making your views known to the committee.
