Dear editor:

We at Harmony Residents Group wish to congratulate The Lake Report for its special report, “Falling Into the Lake,” (Aug. 29).

Not only did your special report raise the issues of the eroding shoreline, it reminded everyone in town that the area of the former Department of National Defence rifle range and the Niagara Shores Park are a valuable natural part of our heritage and worthy of the care and cost needed to preserve those lands.

For 12 years, Harmony (harmonyresidents.org) has advocated for the lands to be managed as a conservation area and for all levels of government to be partners in creating a park to be used by everyone.

Thank you for bringing attention to those lands.
