Traction and Action
Petitions, politicians and persistence have ultimately positioned the deteriorating Williams Lake dam on HRM Regional Council’s agenda! We have traction!
HRM Environmental Committee Report
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.
Accessible or Not
Urban parklands, wilderness forests and wild coastal tracts – are within HRM and we all have access to them. Or do we?
What does ‘accessibility’ actually mean? What is ‘sustainable’ and ‘equitable’ accessibility?
Get Lost in Nature-Safely
The Shaw Wilderness Park on Williams Lake is 379 acres of old growth forests, granite ridges, with a hidden waterfall, panoramic views of Halifax’s skyline and a hiking trail with loads of interesting features. You can get lost in nature but not in the park.
