The West Carling Association (WCA) is working to rebuild the damaged docks at the Pancake Islands picnic site, but we need your support! Despite initial setbacks and funding issues, a private donor has stepped forward, and we are optimistic about moving forward. Now the final hurdle lies with obtaining a Land Use Permit from the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF).

With your help we can ensure the Pancake Islands docks are available for generations to enjoy!

Dear Minister Smith,

I am writing to you to emphasize the importance of rebuilding the damaged docks at the Pancake Islands picnic site on Georgian Bay. As a long-time visitor to the area, I have seen firsthand the impact this special place has on families and friends who gather there to enjoy the outdoors.

The north Pancakes picnic Island is a cherished destination for boating, swimming, fishing, and taking in the stunning views of Georgian Bay. However, due to high water levels in 2020, the docks were severely damaged, making it difficult for people to access the island. I understand a private donor has come forward with funding to restore the docks, but Ministry support is needed to obtain a Land Use Permit. I urge you to use your influence to help move this project forward.

Rebuilding the docks will ensure that the Pancake Islands remain a beloved gathering place for generations. I would be grateful if you could support this initiative and make it a reality.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
