Weekly update to the Sperry's Beach situation:
as of August 24-
At a Public Meeting held Sunday August 21, 7:00 pm at the Petite Riviere
Fire Hall Committee members reported on the August 17 meeting with DNR
Minister Richard Hurlburt, Deputy Minister Peter Underwood, MLA Kerry
Morash and Senior Solicitor Diane Rowe; and the August 19 meeting with
Municipality of the District of Lunenburg Recreation Focus Group Chair
Councillor Don Zwicker, Deputy Warden Elmer Garber, and Recreation Director
Carroll Randall
The Committee received unanimous endorsement to undertake the following:
1) immediately open a dialogue with the Confederacy of Mainland Mi'Kmaq,
the Mi'Kmaq Burial Ground Research and Restoration Association, and the
Nova Scotia Museum with the intent of achieving Provincial and Federal
recognition and protection for the Heritage interest area (ref 1604 map
"Port de La Heve", Samuel Champlain) including, but not limited to, the
Indian Hill, Indian Hill Pond(s) and historic burial grounds adjacent to
Sperry's Beach
2) immediately instruct Stewart McKelvey Stirling Scales, under the
direction of Senator Jim Cowan, to identify the most appropriate and
effective instrument for holding the Government of Nova Scotia accountable
for upholding the Statutes and Regulations of the Province of Nova Scotia,
and to commence preparation of possible Court action against the Government
of Nova Scotia should the Government fail, in a timely manner, to provide
either
a) substantive documented proof of ownership claimed by the estate of
Lawrence Himmelman of lands between the Ordinary Mean Highwater Mark and
those Crown lands referenced at Orders in Council 95-737 and 96-899, and
the infilled tidal salt marsh as identified on DNR Field Plot P-110/95
or
b) - confirmation of Crown ownership of all lands referenced at a);
- an order causing the supervised removal of the outer barbed wire fence;
- an order causing the infilled tidal salt marsh, as identified on DNR
Field Plot P-110/95, to be fenced off to prevent its further use for
private profit as leased pasture land, and to prevent its further befouling
with excrement;
and
- an order causing the Heritage interest area identified at 1) to be
fenced off to comply with Sections 7(1), 8(1-2), 9 and 11 of the Cemeteries
Protection Act to prevent further desecration, and to avoid any further
potential damage prior to protection as noted at 1)
