"There has to be better safeguards written into the act," says Nadine Hunt of the Save West Mabou Beach Committee

Nadine Hunt of Save West Mabou Beach says it’s the third time their group is saying ‘no’ to the Cabot golf company, but the message is falling on deaf ears.

Interview with Nadine Hunt, one of the residents who is trying to keep West Mabou Beach Provincial Park protected.

“People have said, ‘We’ll be in front of the bulldozers.’ Many, many people have said that. It’s terrible if it’s going to have to come to that.”

“In a world where there’s decency and honesty and integrity, it would be unheard of that a provincial natural environment park would have to defend itself for its own status,” said local advocate Nadine Hunt. "It should be unheard of that anything like this would even be brought up.”

“All it seemingly requires is a little bit of language change, wording to strengthen the (Provincial) Parks Act so that certain activities are just not permitted in certain parks," says Nadine Hunt, who has had to fight multiple times to keep West Mabou Beach Provincial Park protected. "I don’t think it’s a major ask, I don’t think it’s controversial and I don’t think it’s that difficult to do. I don’t know why the will is not there to do it.”

Minister Tory Rushton confirms in 2023 that the Houston Government will not allow a golf course in West Mabou Beach Provincial Park
