| 2 | | | Deputation | Alan McNair, Conservation Committee Chair of the Brereton Field Naturalists’ Club (BFNC) provided a deputation regarding motion 11-G-274, North Shore Trail Vegetation Management Plan Review. He stated that the BFNC is concerned about the bigger picture, noting that the Lake Simcoe Protection Plan and Phosphorous Reduction Strategy calls for a 30 metre wide desired buffer of natural vegetated shoreline.
