Bell Mobility Wants to Expand Into Lake Superior Provincial Park

The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) on behave of the Government of Ontario has published a “Proposed Occupational Authority for Communication Towers and Associated Infrastructure in Lake Superior Provincial Park”

Published in the Sault Star on 22 May 2015, the notice identifies Bell Mobility as the telecommunications proponent and lists three specific locations:  a) Gargantua Road b) Coon Lake and c) Sand River Road. The locations shown on the map below are approximate as the exact latitude and longitude of each site was not listed in the public announcement. 



The towers will be 35 metres tall and “designed to mimic a pine tree.” 



 Pictures of similar designs can be seen at this link.
