Nadine Hunt has lived through two recent battles to protect the West Mabou Beach Provincial Park from an on-site golf course development.“It should be an easy thing for the government to go ahead with. I can’t see that it would be controversial at all.
That parks plan provided for the protection of 13 per cent of the province’s outstanding landmass by 2015. Cabot renewed its push for such an arrangement more than a year ago, the second time in five years it had proposed building another golf course on the protected park land. The dissension pitted neighbour against neighbour, with those in favour of the development saying it would create jobs in an economically challenged area and those against saying that the ecological diversity of the park would be destroyed and, that if Cabot wanted to build another golf course in the area, the company could purchase private land and tee up the project.
