What the Petitcodiac River can teach us about Windsor’s controversial causeway

There is no shortage of opinions on how the Avon River causeway and the twinning of Highway 101 between Windsor and Falmouth should be handled.

Online forums light up whenever the topic is raised.

Some argue removing the causeway and allowing the river to return to its natural state is the only viable, long-term solution.
 

Others argue Lake Pisiquid, the man-made freshwater lake, must be preserved as it serves as a recreational hub for Windsor. Others, further upstream, are concerned with their livelihoods and what impact increased salinity in the water has on crops and livestock.

It is pitting neighbour against neighbour as stakeholders weigh in on how the government should address the situation.

West Hants Mayor Abraham Zebian even urged residents to keep their cool during his monthly report at council on Sept. 22.

“There are so many points of view and so many affected by this project. It has become very divisive for some and I ask our residents to be calm and respectful of others and their opinions,” Zebian said.

As divisive as the issue is, everyone seems to agree on one thing: providing safe fish passage is a must. It’s just how do you do that?
