Stop highway construction through Strathgartney Provincial Park
- Target: PEI Premier Robert Ghiz
- Sponsored by: Green Party of Prince Edward Island
The provincial government is considering rerouting the Trans-Canada highway through Strathgartney Provincial Park. There has been no public demand to reroute the highway. It is speculated the motive behind this ill-advised idea is to gain access to federal funding for a make work project. It is estimated Islanders would have to contribute several million dollars.
Strathgartney is a protected area because it contains the last example of pure beechwood, a tree that once covered most of PEI. PEI has the smallest amount of protected land of any province at just 3.1%. We need to bring more land under protection, not pave what little we have.
This popular park is much-loved by people seeking to reconnect with Nature.

Help put a stop to this really bad idea before it goes any further.

Thank you so much for signing the petition to Stop Highway Construction through Strathgartney Provincial Park in Prince Edward Island. We%u2019re closing the petition today after almost tripling the number of signatures we set our sights on. Between the online and paper petitions, we delivered 2,748 names to the provincial government!
While a decision has not yet been made about paving the park, I feel the massive public outcry to save this special natural area may indeed have spared it. There is still time to further influence the provincial government. Comments are being accepted by the Department of Transportation here: gateway@gov.pe.ca
You can also tell your MLA what you think about this proposal. MLA contact information is here:
