Some folks living close to Halifax interested in wilderness preservation might be interested in attending the following meeting.


Public Meeting
Land Development Borders Blue Mountain Birch Cove Lakes Wilderness Area

Halifax Regional Council and Staff have entered into an agreement with BANC Developments for the sale of 180 acres of Public Lands in the Bayers Lake Business Park. The negotiations are being held in secret. The Public will not know the details until the negotiations and sale are complete.

The northeast section of this development, approximately 37 acres, borders the Blue Mountain Birch Cove Lakes Wilderness Area (BMBCL WA), which includes a Trailhead into Susies Lake. Originating in Fairview, popular use of this trail can be traced back to 1933. This Trailhead also contains an unique Granite Rock Plateau that serves as a natural entrance to the BMBCL WA and Susies Lake.

As a Board Member of the Halifax North West Trails Association (HNWTA), Bruce E Smith, will be making a visual presentation on September 13 at 7pm. at the Keshen Goodman Library on Lacewood Drive (across from the Canada Games Centre). Join us for a dynamic discussion.

Hope to see you there!

Bob McDonald, Chair

Halifax North West Trails Association
