Subject

Issues and views surrounding provision of a southern access road into Algonquin Provincial Park

Abstract

The purpose of this project is to examine the issue of providing a southern access road into Algonquin Provincial Park and to determine if there is a perceived need by the Haliburton residents to have such an access road.

A discussion of methodology prepares the way for an analysis of secondary research focusing on community interaction and the philosophical views regarding the road. The history of the controversy is examined and arguments both "for" and "against" are outlined. Results of a circulated survey portraying residents' attitudes are included and finally, recommendations are suggested.
