Cabot Cape Breton has submitted a proposed golf course on West Mabou Beach Provincial Park. Some Mabou residents are fighting to save the park. Nadine Hunt is one of those residents trying to keep the park protected. 

"This is the third time in eight years that Cabot and Rodney MacDonald have come back, into this community, and tried to take this protected space from the people of this community and this province. The third time... What does that say about them? That tells me it's greed, it tells me it's disrespect for this community [...] It's bad enough that this is happening for the third time. But I think what has gotten people really upset as well is how this whole scenario is being played out, because, quite frankly, we feel like we've been played. This is unravelling to be a tangled web of backroom politics, of deceit, of secrecy."
