Then on Sunday, we had a rally planned, and we did that as well. Our Park had been spared, but only for now. And we are in solidarity with our neighbours at Hunters Mountain, who are winterizing their encampment. And with everywhere in Nova Scotia that is trying to make a public say matter.

It went really, really well. No one came with conflict to hash out. People came with open hearts wanting to help. We served tea, many people brought food to share. We could even laugh, and after many tense weeks, it felt good. The presentations were well researched. Audience questions were on point.

Hello! This is an important one, so it won’t be the last time I post it. The Land Defenders on Hunters Mountain are gearing up for winter. They are resolute. But they need supplies, they are winterizing the cabins they built, there is food and firewood and gas for generators needed.

The issue of West Mabou Beach Provincial Park is important to the entirety of Nova Scotia because handing it over to create a golf course would set a precedent for all protected land in the province. If they can do it here, they will do it anywhere. Comments on this: www.youtube.com/live/RP1xHzB...

On opening night of the Vancouver Writer’s FestivaI, I was with seven other authors where we were given the prompt to talk about being a Canadian now under this new pressure from tariffs and talks of annexation by the US. Everyone spoke powerfully. (Cont’d)

I think we are going to need help here. From fellow Nova Scotians. From people who want to protect a natural environment provincial park from development. I welcome your help and your voice. This an update to the thread. We are only a small community. These are international billionaires.

I have letter to the editor this week in our local paper.
Our community is, once again, facing a developer who wants to turn public, protected coastal land into a golf course. We've been here before. This time, it's shadier. And God knows it was shady last time. www.invernessoran.ca/top-story/co...
