A road and housing development is being planned between the Bordelais Bog and Dunes Lake.  This is home to many bird and animal species as well as old growth forest.  It’s not too late to save this place, but we need your help!  Let’s show the developers and Town Council that St. Lazare residents don’t need another road here - we want this ecologically sensitive area preserved for future generations!
