We had been scheduled to present to the first working meeting of the current term of the Township of Muskoka Lakes Council.
Unfortunately, the Township needed to cancel the presentation, so we instead e-mailed it to the Mayor, Councillors, the media, as well as to the Ministry of the Environment.
The presentation is here, and our cover letter is below …
Hello Mr. Sanzo,
There was a presentation scheduled by SaveTheBalaFalls.com to the Township of Muskoka Lakes Council today, but unfortunately, the Township had to cancel this.
However, I believe the information in the presentation will be of interest for the Ministry of the Environment’s impending decision whether this proposed project should be elevated to require an Individual Environmental Assessment.
As carefully documented in this presentation, we feel that the proponent has been misleading the public by providing untruthful information, and has been abusing the process by not divulging that their original Option 1 – as shown in their own drawing – could not have been built entirely on the Crown Land owned by the Ministry of Natural Resources. This “mis-statement” is a crucial part of their current bullying of the Township and public.
Over the past months and years, the proponent has demonstrated that they will not provide answers to our questions, accordingly, we respectfully request such an elevation.
