OntORA was sent a booklet of data written and distributed by the NorthBay MNR called the Highway 805 Trout Review, our friends directed our attention to the back cover which says "this tabloid produced by Obabika Lake Lodge".
It seems more than just a coincidence that the NorthBay MNR is discouraging public access to Lake Obabika with a gate and signs threatening the public with $10,000 fines.
In their defense the MNR says that a group appointed by them and made up of such members as representatives of the outfitting community and cottagers primarily from Southern Ontario made the decision to restrict public access from a publicly owned lake.
They say that 8 options for public access points were possible but this group with no legal capacity to speak for the public turned them all down.
