GUEST – Les Stewart, Springwater Park Citizens’ Coalition, SPCC

TOPIC – Closure of Springwater Park

INFO -The County will be voting on the recommendation to continue to lobby the Ministry of Natural Resources, MNR to enter into a reasonable business plan agreement.

The MNR is insisting that:

• all the animals are leaving (although they’re the main attraction at the park),
• the new partner must cover 100% of the annual $100,000 deficit (with no time frame given),
• $1 million in capital must be spent (over 40 times the average in the last 5 years, big $ into someone else’s property),
• cannot sell or lease the land, and
• any partner must adhere to all of the MNR’s (failed) management policies.
