flag Landowners in Nova Scotia challenge a provincial lease for a whale sanctuary, citing violated consent policies.

flag Landowners in Wine Harbour, Nova Scotia, are challenging the provincial government’s approval of a 20-year lease for the Whale Sanctuary Project, arguing the decision violated a policy requiring unanimous consent from affected landowners. flag The U.S.-based project aims to create North America’s first coastal refuge for retired captive whales, using 83 hectares of Crown land and waters. flag Opponents, including long-time residents, claim they were inadequately consulted and fear loss of ocean access. flag Premier Tim Houston defended the move, citing broad regional support. flag The sanctuary, which could boost ecotourism in a struggling area, still needs permits and $20 million in funding.
