Summary of Proposal:
Ipperwash Provincial Park is a 56 hectare recreational class park located on the southeast shore of Lake Huron. The Province of Ontario intends to transfer the park land to Canada for the use and benefit of the Chippewas of Kettle and Stony Point First Nation. The First Nation has indicated that it would like the land transferred to Canada under the Addition to Reserve policy.
Ontario’s provincial parks are established by regulation under the Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserves Act. The park boundary must be rescinded by regulation to remove the provincial park designation before the transfer to Canada can occur. Rescinding the park boundary requires changing O.Reg. 316/07 under the Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserves Act to remove Ipperwash Provincial Park from the schedule.
Removing the park boundary is subject to a decision on an exemption regulation under the Environmental Assessment Act and to endorsement by the Legislative Assembly as required by the Provincial Parks and Conservation Reserves Act.
