Open Blog
Be aware that anyone can read this blog and leave a comment. The executive decided that this option would be far easier to administer than the option of private, members-only blog. We don't anticipate problems but certainly would reconsider our decision if need be.

The Proposed Beaver Valley Village Subdivision and Our Water
Your executive has been actively monitoring the progress of the Beaver Valley Village subdivision application, which supports a 45-lot subdivision, on individual septic systems and individual wells, on a 29.7 Ha area bounded by Windy Lane, Bowles Bluff Road and the 7th Line.
Having studied the documentation for this application, it is our opinion that the applicant’s studies are neither extensive enough nor thorough enough to provide assurance that future development will not negatively affect the quality and quantity of water for property owners in the area of the proposed subdivision.
Additional agency and peer reviewer comments are anticipated. We will continue to monitor the process. In the meantime, we are researching the feasibility of retaining our own groundwater expert to help promote BVRA concerns to Municipality and County decision makers and, if appropriate, to the Ontario Municipal Board.

The Point
The point of this blog is to keep BVRA members informed about the issues of concern to us. As well, the blog enables members to comment, suggest or volunteer; these options are not exhaustive.
To start, as newbie bloggers, we are opening up the blog to directors only, but as soon as we get our "sea legs", we will invite all members to read the BVRA Blog.
The board looks forward to a dialogue with members, soon. We want to know what members think about the issues facing us.
