Established in 1968 for the Preservation of Williams Lake
Several local groups are championing the importance of maintaining public access to Williams Lake, via historic trails leading from Purcells Cove Road to the lakeshore. This access is in danger of being lost forever, and your support for a petition is urgently needed.
86 hectares of land in Purcells Cove is proposed for rezoning and development Rezoning Map. While some may think this is a good opportunity for development, please take a moment to reconsider… and if you agree, sign Our Petition.
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.
We need your support. The WLCC feels that a report on declining water levels that gives no consideration to climate change or the impact of development in Williams Lake’s extensive watershed is incomplete at best and at worst misleading. 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.
We need your support! The application to rezone 48 – 50 Old Sambro Road from R-2P to R-3 was defeated by Halifax and West Community Council at its meeting on November 16, 2021. The developer has appealed that decision.
Shauna Hatt, NDP candidate for Halifax Atlantic says she wants to see the dam protected in order to build on the investment made in the Shaw Wilderness Park.
