Calling it a historic day for the city, Mayor Mitch Panciuk says the purchase of part of the former Bakelite property will ultimately lead to more than 40 uninterrupted acres of greenspace on the water.
That acreage is flanked on either side by land that has been deemed provincially significant wetlands and would be donated to the city through the Eco Gift program. Mayor Panciuk says this current council has had a number of achievements to be proud of but, in terms of legacy and having an impact on the future, this tops all of that.“This is really going to be something that, for hundreds of years, we will be able to enjoy as a community. Right on the lake, right in the midst of our city. It’s going to be incredible. It’s going to be somewhere you can take your kids to show them birds and fauna, insects, including butterflies.
“We’ve engaged consultants to make sure that, from an environmental point of view the lands that we’re receiving are safe for us to be able to deal with. We found out what we’re allowed to do with it. And in the future, any additional uses, all that will be something we’ll have to work with Quinte Conservation on and the provincial Ministry of the Environment.
