Proposed golf course within provincial park not sitting well with residents
Many people who live near the West Mabou Beach Provincial Park in Cape Breton say they feel blindsided by news the Nova Scotia government is again considering a proposal to build a golf course in the area.
“I don’t like coming to my government with concerns only to have them trivialized and ignored,” said cartoonist and author Kate Beaton.
On Thursday, Premier Tim Houston and Natural Resources Minister Kim Masland confirmed they have had recent conversations with the Cabot company – owners of the world-renowned Cabot Cliffs and Cabot Links in Inverness, N.S. – about potentially building an 18-hole course in an area that would include West Mabou Beach.
Beaton feels the Houston government hasn’t spoken enough with local residents.
