> You Are Invited to a Workshop on:  
> 
> PRESERVATION OF  THE PROSPECT HIGH HEAD 
> 
> 
> The Prospect High Head, a public resource for
> generations,  is in danger of being lost to
> development.  This month, a crucial parcel land has
> already been bought and sold twice, ending up in the
> hands of a real estate developer.  Development on
> the High Head would threaten its distinctive and
> fragile ecology, compromise public access, and
> destroy one of the most breathtaking vistas in all
> of Halifax Regional Municipality.  
> 
> The public outcry over the sale has been tremendous
> and has put the High Head on the map with the
> politicians.  However, in this time of fiscal
> restraint there is no guarantee they will intervene.
> 
> 
> Rather than just reacting in shock to the latest
> development, those who care what happens to this
> land need to gather to create strategies, action
> plans and initiatives that will lead to protection
> of the High Head.  
> 
> Towards this end, the Prospect Peninsula Residents
> Association and the Friends of High Head.   
> are sponsoring an open meeting on the Theme:
> 
> Issues and Opportunities for Preserving  Prospect
> High Head for Future Generations.
> 
> The Workshop is open to anyone who wants to
> contribute to the discussion.  It will be conducted
> using Open Space Technology, a simple format that
> insures all issues and concerns related to the theme
> get included and discussed.  However, you are
> requested to please arrive on time and, if possible,
> to attend the full session.
> 
> By the end of the day, we will have discussed all
> the issues and opportunities participants have
> raised, identified the highest priorities, and
> developed action plans to move these forward.  We
> will have created proceedings of the sessions and
> each participant will receive a copy.
> 
> Tea and coffee will be provided.  Please bring your
> own lunch.  Preregistration is not required. Expect
> to meet old and new friends, to discuss issues
> important to everyone present, and to have a grand
> time.
