Open letter to Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations Minister Steve Thomson:
I am writing with regard to the proposed land swap of Heritage/Rainbow Island for 45 acres of waterfront Crown land on the south side of Bridge Lake.
I believe this would be very wrong.
I have been going up to the Cariboo for 40 years. I co-owned a cabin on acreage on Bowers Lake for about 10 years.
I have great friends on Lac des Roches and Bridge lakes on whose property I have camped for years, as recently as last summer.
I have paddled and kayaked the length and width of Bridge Lake, Horse Lake, Bowers Lake and Lac des Roches.
Crown land is precious and there is precious little of it left on Bowers and Bridge lakes.
Please do not support this proposed land swap.
Thank you for your consideration.
