Logging and deteriorating road conditions caused from the hauling impacts on all residents and visitors. As trees recede, wildlife will withdraw. Visiting Dore Lake since I was a child and seeing the current rape of the land is frustrating and at the same time devestating.

Michel Point is my home. It is laden with beautiful historical trails, nature walks, stunning views, and a peaceful network of cabin communities. Destruction of the forest on Michel Point would be harmful to business owners, tourists, residents, and cabin owners. This is a pristine, remote area of the Boreal Forest, and there is no logical reason why Sakaw needs to target this area specifically. There is plenty of forest out there that doesn't come within 1km of a remote community.

The following are some notes regarding some of the concerns about the proposed logging of Michel Point, Dore Lake, SK. Roger and Cheryl Epp and five of our children have lived at Michele Point, Dore Lake for fifteen years. We have all enjoyed the secluded and scenic beauty. This beautiful forest is scheduled to be clear cut logged. We would like Michel Point left untouched as a tourist and wildlife refuge. As a community we do a lot of quad and snow mobile rallies down the 120 miles of trails in and around Dore Lake. Many of these trails are historic trails dating back over 100 years. Tourism, ecotourism, outfitting, commercial fishing, and trapping are a way of life for many northerners. The logging that has already been done in this area has permanently damaged the boreal forest and many of the historical trails have been destroyed. There is much concern about the threat of the ground washing into creeks and into the lake and therefore having a detrimental effect on future fishing. There is a historical trail which goes along the north side of Michel Point from the tip of the point all the way to South Bay. This trail cannot be disturbed. At the meeting held at the Town Hall on Jan 19, 2015 concern was raised regarding logs being hauled out on our existing road. Later during the break I overheard one of the facilitators say that they would not need to use the road leading to Michel Point for hauling as they were going to build their own road for that. There has been much work, including the installation of large culverts, on the north side of the Dore Highway 924 at kilometer 52. If you look at this area on Google Earth you can see that they can log and haul from this road and we would not even see what they were doing as they can log all the way up to Tower Beach from this entrance. They could also connect to the Old Dore Road from this entrance in about a kilometer. The damage caused by logging in and around this very delicate part of the lake would b
