Halifax Regional Municipality is updating the Urban Forest Master Plan (UFMP). Currently the plan only covers areas that are within the service boundary (water and sewer). However, there is lots of land in the Williams Lake Watershed which is undeveloped, not serviced and deserves protection.
Public Works Minister Kim Masland is delivering on her promise to save Williams Lake by fixing the aging and leaky dam.
The Backlands Coalition, of which the Williams Lake Conservation Company is a member, has submitted detailed comments to the HRM Regional Plan Review as part of the HRM consultation process.
Our submission highlights issues of special importance to HRM, the nearby communities of Spryfield, Williams Lake, Purcells Cove, Fergusons Cove and parts of Herring Cove that surround the Backlands.
