Haliburton County council is attempting to open a dialogue with the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry about the ongoing inappropriate use of Crown land within the county’s borders.
Councillors received a memo from Algonquin Highlands Mayor Carol Moffatt during a June 23 online meeting,
“The comments that are contained in the report to council, they’re a fraction of what I’m sure we’ve all heard off and on over many years, and many are anecdotal,” Moffatt told her colleagues. “There is definitely a change in attitude these days … and if we don’t make it clear what kind of community we want to have and then work toward it, we could end up with the wild west.”
