Laurel Broten, MPP Etobicoke-Lakeshore, has come out in support of the community's wish that public lands on the water's edge should not be sold for private, residential development but retained for public access to the lake. Here is a letter she recently sent to Linda Jeffrey, Minister of Natural Resources, asking her office to take this into consideration when public land at 51 is officially declared surplus.Kudos to Laurel for standing alongside her neighbours in the Lakeshore and for seeing the larger picture.
Views of the lake and access to it are the defining characteristics of the community we all love. Connecting water's edge links and lakeside parks are what makes the Waterfront Trail such a valuable asset to the City of Toronto and to the Province.
What we already have should never be given up - it should be a top priority of the City and the Province to add even more.
