Open letter to Nova Scotia Premier Tim Houston: It is with great concern that we found out about the latest proposal by Cabot Cape Breton to transform ...

The West Mabou beach in Inverness County on the western side of Cape Breton Island. Cabot Cape Breton wants to build another 18-hole golf course in the area. - Contributed - ContributedIt is with great concern that we found out about the latest proposal by Cabot Cape Breton to transform part of a sensitive parkland into a golf course.

It is unfathomable that a private entity has the gall to even try to take public land and this must be stopped in its tracks. One of the greatest difficulties, however, is to find housing for those residents. Not only has housing become an issue since Cabot Cape Breton has set up shop, but also property prices and taxes have gone up tremendously making it difficult for many locals to afford it. This cannot be balanced by the minimum wage jobs that Cabot offers.

That Cabot Cape Breton wants to build their golf course in an area with sensitive sand dunes and the very fragile salt marsh and pond area, where you find rare plants and animals, is unacceptable. This is in no way compatible with Nova Scotia's new Coastal Protection Act.
