Shoreline Work to Proceed in Spite of Protests



At the August AGM, a petition was presented which basically called for a cessation on any further shoreline work. It should be noted that all of those who signed the petition do not have property in the worse affected areas of shoreline.

A representative from Northern Municipal Affairs was in attendance and basically said that the government owned the shoreline and it didn't matter how the cabin owners voted on any shoreline alterations. So the shoreline work will proceed as originally planned and tenders will be sent out this fall. Most of the work will be payed for by the government out of the Northern Trust Account.
