Wasaga Beach’s mayor has sent a letter to Ontario Premier Doug Ford, expressing concern over mixed messaging.
Nina Bifolchi says in the letter that there is growing frustration “we face in our community due to mixed and inconsistent messaging” from the government, in particular Ontario Parks and OPP.
Her letter is asking the Ontario government:
1)That before the long weekend it clarify, through a news release and social media
channels, as well as signage in the park, the rules and regulations as they apply
to Wasaga Beach Provincial Park.
2)That the province direct its agencies, namely the OPP and Ontario Parks, to take
a more collaborative and respectful approach to dealing with the Town of
Wasaga Beach and residents.
3) That Ontario Parks step up its messaging in general so that residents and visitors
clearly understand the park is the responsibility of the province and not the town.
