The launch area and parking lot were constructed on top of a landfill site '-- material, containing numerous chemicals, which had been dredged out of the harbour -- and the Ministry of Environment and Energy ordered drains installed to prevent leachates <water runoff) from re-entering the lake. The Town had to await final approval from the minister, Bud Wildman, 10 use the site as a parking lot before the Iaunch, which can accommodate 50 boats' and trailers (cost for launch is $5 a day, $60 for the season), could be opened. lOhoto by maurice PlIher, Whltby Free Press -À.
