I hope this note finds everyone well as we head into the
busy holiday season.

I have received an email from Beth Cragg, who is with
Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks. Beth provided an update
specific to the ongoing dialogue regarding the status of Whiteduck Provincial
Park and Hungry Lake Conservation Reserve.

Thanks to the numerous submissions and dialogue from our
membership and stakeholders’ groups, our recommendation to add the proposed
land on the south shore of Big Gull Lake to the Hungry Lake Conservation
Reserve has been accepted. This is really good news and exactly our desired
outcome.

Below are excerpts from Beth’s email:

“I hope you will be pleased to hear that the Ministry of
the Environment, Conservation and Parks will be initiating consultation under
the Algonquin Land Claim Declaration Order on a proposal to add certain lands,
originally proposed to be part of Whiteduck Provincial Park, to Hungry Lake
Conservation Reserve.

The comment period will begin on December 8, 2022 and
conclude January 23, 2023.  Formal notification will be sent to Indigenous
communities, adjacent landowners, stakeholders and those who submitted comments
on the proposed boundary for Whiteduck Provincial Park.

The public notice will also be included in The Kingston Whig
Standard, Kingston This Week, The Perth Courier and The Frontenac News.”

The consultation noted above is part of the normal land
planning process.  I hope that you will take the time to provide your
response to this recommendation and submit any questions or concerns you may
have. Please see the forwarded message below.

Finally, I hope that you and your family have a wonderful
holiday season.  Here’s to a great 2023.

Merry Christmas

Donna
