We, the undersigned, ask that the Municipality of the District of Lunenburg, direct the Sherbrooke Lake Access Advisory Committee (and its contractor Uplands) to include questions designed to determine the level of interest for public access to Sherbrooke Lake, as part of its public consultation process.
The public consultation process remains at the heart of our focus as we monitor the actions of the advisory committee. Conversations with residents continue to affirm the necessity of clear and transparent communication regarding lake access. I am currently reviewing official materials to ensure that the request for specific public polling is fully documented and addressed.
February 3, 2016
The increase in support for this initiative indicates that our community recognizes the importance of public access to Sherbrooke Lake. This momentum serves as a clear signal that the inquiry process must prioritize the public interest.

This is one of the last (few) pristine lakes in Nova Scotia, let alone Canada. Please do not permit users of a lake that have no real vested interest, except to "fish and burn gas" on it's waters. If they want to fish, and boat - then buy property, and be tax payers, and invest in a cottage. Without having a meaningul involvement in the value of this lake (as a land owner), transient users (i.e. sports fishermen and their large boats) risk abusing the beauty of this lake.

I agree that the level of public support must be determined before making a major monetary commitments and increasing the tax burden to the residents.

It would be appropriate for there to be current recorded data on the level of interest instead of relying on informal feedback in meetings attended by very few people many years ago.

"Ours - To Enjoy Today & Protect For Tomorrow" - Really Jimmy? You believe you have exclusive access to the natural world?
The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) protects areas of natural diversity for their intrinsic value
and for the benefit of our children and grandchildren. Accessibility for all Canadians!
Work towards a win/win - i.e. user fees, passes, universal restrictions, etc.
"Sign sign, every where a sign"
Jimmy boy, you're a churl. A bankrupt devoid of any class and integrity!

Screw the less privileged - build a wall!! Access to our natural world is for the lucky few. Let's not work towards a win/win solution that protects the environment.

Leave this lake private....land owners should get to keep on having a great, relatively untouched place to go!
