Protesters say the decision was taken in secret, without transparency. This is something that was planned a long time ago and if it wasn’t for a guy who had the courage to tell a CBC reporter, we wouldn’t even have known.

Opponents raised the issue of environmental protection, as the park is home to several endangered species, which has a rare ecosystem.
There are also supporters of the project. some residents ofEast coast, where the park is located, are on the side of the golf course.
They believe that the project will be good for the economy of the region and will attract tourists.
