Thanks going out to Ann Trainor for sending these photos showing the devastation of the Summerside wetlands due to the Ocean View Resort development

Thanks going out to Ann Trainor for sending these photos showing the devastation of the Summerside wetlands due to the Ocean View Resort development. It isn’t just the provincial government that willingly turns a blind eye to our water and land protection laws. We very much appreciate residents sending photos in, as it is another way we can continue to raise awareness.

“The pictures are on the west end of the Summerside boardwalk, just past the lower walking bridge. They are very close to the Spa. The first photo was taken April 2025 and the second is April 2026.
The first photo from April 2025 shows a beautiful Blue Heron ! He’s there look closely!
I have been walking the boardwalk since it was developed.
I brought the clear cutting to my City Councillor last November 2025. Who did respond, but took it no further. I was assured all was given thorough care and attention.
😢
Each picture was taken in the exact same spot one year apart. Look at the devastation at the hands of our government.
I’m truly saddened.”

Ann Trainor, Summerside

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
