As dedicated members of the Lions gate community, we have frustratingly been forced to fill the role of stewards, trying to prevent the increasing harm to our precious local ecosystem at Freshwater ponds. Our wildlife has been put in danger, our once serenely beautiful pond being turned into a disaster zone due to irresponsible fishing practices. It breaks our hearts to bear witness to native animals injured by discarded fishing hooks, which can cause fatal wounds.
Recklessly discarded fishing hooks, lines and rubbish are causing further wildlife and environmental damage.
To further add they are fishing at a private property where trespassing is strictly prohibited causing further nuisance to the neighbors.

It is time we take firm action to protect the fragile ecosystem and the community. Let's reimagine the Freshwater Lake as a haven for wildlife and a place of enjoyment for respectful, nature-preserving community members.

Please sign this petition asking Village and the association to put a ban on fishing at the Freshwater Lake in Lions Gate community. Let's save our local wildlife and ensure they have a safe and undisturbed habitat.
