Wait, so the company that won’t let your launch from their site with your own boats doesn’t even own the land they operate on? Good, hope they get shut down 😂

This makes me sad. I love going here. If they don’t own the land, it makes sense but I wish trans Alta would just charge them a fee and let them operate

Well considering the city of Calgary fire department has their divers train there… I think it’s plenty safe lol. They’re just mad they don’t get a cut of the business taxes because it’s in Rocky view county

If they own the land and there paying the tax’s they have every right to tell them to leave. Not sure how it’s gone on this long. And comparing it to the other side like really? Those houses own that land, the marina doesn’t.

Yes 2 foot wire fences below most ppl's knee lines are a major deterrent

If the marina just popped up there 2-3 years ago… they better be able to prove they have permission. I’m confident someone decided to plant their flag there without permission! See ya 👋🏻

well they're is a definite difference btwn environmental safety and personal safety...Pretty.sure drowing is less likely in a power boat than it is on a paddle board or kids playing on a tube with poor swimming skills and no lifeguard

literally was there this past weekend but they closed due to heavy winds but honestly if they're gonna shut it down they should be more concerned about cn trains stopping rigjt in the middle of the trail. Everyone and myself, even cyclists and families were going over the train cause it was just standstill for so long with no police/cn worker escort to assist the public

Awe no more monopoly on the lake ,if the public can’t use it no one should be able to use it.

Sounds like the rich people in bearspaw have a problem with the public on their “private water” and have finally found a way for the public to get the boot.
