Remove Boulders at P.E.I. Beachfront

Thanks to Marian White for this honest assessment of the Pt. DeRoche construction!

REMOVE BOULDERS AT P.E.I. BEACHFRONT

The Guardian (Charlottetown) 24 Feb 2023

Blooming Point beach is just down the road. We have a disaster on our hands with a 19-foot-high wall of boulders blocking the beach.

Islanders can be proud of our Lands Protection Act that spells out buffer zone regulations along with limits on non-resident purchase of shore frontage.

Bureaucrats and their ruling politicians broke their own rules in permitting this monstrosity. I suggest they read the Lands Protection Act.

We need a government that follows established legislation to protect our shorelines and public beaches. As an NDP candidate in the 2023 election, I believe in government accountability, not profit-seeking at any cost!

A stop-work order is needed and we’d like those ugly boulders removed now.

Marian White, Tracadie, P.E.I.

Thanks to Chris Ortenburger for sharing this article in her Citizens’ Alliance newsletter this morning, along with these comments: “There is so much in that interview that brings up more questions for the Minister and Premier: must all land be in “production”? where is good Land Use Planning? (notice that may not be the same as Where is the Land Use Plan? ;-) where is the IRAC report on the Kings County land holdings that former Environment and former Lands and Community minister Stephen Myers set in motion? Why can’t the Land Department keep track of land? Why have IRAC in charge of this when her government has announced it is set to break up IRAC and there will certainly be a lot of transition? And things not addressed here: What about non-profit land protection organizations like Island Nature Trust? (this has been addressed elsewhere with a wave of the hand, but it would be good if the minister recognised this clearly) Why are agriculture giants not addressed, but non-profits? How easy will it be to work around this law? Have they thought that far in the future? This also feels like a use of a lot of government legislative writing time that could be spent on other promised legislation
