Late last week, Parks Canada announced that motorized boats will once again not be allowed on Clear Lake and other lakes within Riding Mountain National Park this summer.
In announcing the move, Parks Canada said it was in a continued effort to stop the spread of Zebra Mussels in the lake.
But now, a petition has been started by locals, asking Parks Canada to reverse that decision, adding it will devastate their businesses.
The petition, which has already collected more than 2,000 signatures, says inspection and education is the solution rather than a full ban.
