The citizens agains mandatory permits would ask you to take an active part in shaping legislation geared toward enforcing mandatory trail stickers on snowmobile trails that had historically been available to the public.
We encourage you to send a letter to premier Danny Williams DannyWilliams@gov.nl.ca or Roger Grimes RogerGrimes@gov.nl.ca - you may use the prepared form letter below.
Honourable Danny Williams
Premier of Newfoundland and Labrador
Confederation Building
St. John’s, Nl.
Dear Premier Williams:
On December 23, 2004 Bill 45 was passed under an evoked closure agenda
promoted by your Minister Mr. Paul Shelly. Mr. Shelly had promised the
people of this province that before any access fees would be invoked on
the citizens of this province; there would be consultations with all
user groups.
Furthermore, prior to election many of your cabinet ministers and you
indicated that there would be no more access fees charged on the
outdoors and that your government would enact an Outdoor Bill of Rights
to protect individuals’ right to access the outdoors.
Bill 45 “ mandatory trail stickers” is an indication that your
government does not intend to keep it’s word and you plan to manage
access to the outdoors through fees and other hidden taxes. This,
Mr. Williams, is a broken promise on two specific outdoor issues. Are
there more coming?
As the sender of this email, I request that you rescind Bill 45, until
Mr. Shelly consults with all affected user groups and that during this
legislative session you pass an Outdoor Bill of Rights.
Sincerely yours, (Your
name and Email here)
