Hey everybody , Brad Sinclair here, your local Realtor, solving problems and making things happen in real estate since 2007. Sit back and relax this video should be only a few minutes long.

This weekend my daughter and I went to Oshawa for her to play a hockey game. We went to the Legends Centre. What an amazing complex. This community centre had 4 ice pads, Pool facility with lazy river, fitness centre, splash pad. It was an investment in the community. The tournaments and activities that building would bring to the area would be amazing. So here’s the thought I had. The Peterborough Memorial Centre needs to be replaced. The city was talking about doing a double pad as well at Trent. Can we roll this all up into one? Think big here now. Build An OHL arena with a 4 to 6 ice pad complex with a pool and fitness centre. Close down the aging Kinsman and Northcrest arenas. You would be consolidating your staff and costs. Why have Arenas has spread throughout the city?

What is the status of the Peterborough Lakers 2019 season? Has anybody heard? I’m wondering how the new counsel will handle this situation. Will they follow staff directions and ultimately destroyed the Peterborough Lakers as the last council was looking at doing or will they find a solution to fix the floor and have a Laker season. If anybody has any information on what’s going on please feel free to comment or direct message me. I would love to know.

That is all I have for you today.

Who is right and who is wrong in the Pigeon Lake Wild Rice Issue

Last week I posted my thoughts about an article that I read in the Peterborough This Week about the wild rice disagreement between James Whetung and the residence waterfront owners of Pigeon Lake. Here is the video I posted:

I have had comments on my video which I read them all. One comment I deleted and maybe I should not have. This comment said I was the seller of stolen lands. White supremacist. I should be ashamed of this video. She also commented this is such a “white” line of thinking. I was called a racist.

I see everyone as equals. In my mind I have no more rights then you and you have no more rights then me. I don’t look at someone and determine their motives because of their colour of their skin. I believe that we all can work together as a community. Does this make me a racist?

One fault that I will admit to is not giving much credit to what happen hundreds of years ago. I don’t view myself as a “cottager” I view this as my home and I belong here even though my ancestors from hundreds of years ago came from Scotland and England. I also do find it hypocritical that some scream about traditional activities then use modern equipment to carry out so called traditional activities.

This all said this is what I believe should happen to solve in this dispute:

The people of Curve Lake should have full and exclusive rights to harvest Wild Rice in Pigeon Lake
A number of acres of Wild Rice needed to feed the community should be determined by Curve Lake First Nation
Wild Rice is for traditional uses and it should be gathered in traditional ways.
Property owners along Pigeon Lake should be able to apply for a permit from Parks Canada to clean up a certain amount of space in front of their property for their enjoyment
Wild Rice is wild. Seeding is not wild. That is a crop. Seeding will be limited to the amount of Wild Rice that is determined needed by Curve Lake First Nation to feed the community. Curve Lake and Parks Canada will work together to seed if necessary.

I believe these recommendations would satisfy both communities. It will not satisfy individual people of course but it is about the whole not some. Is these surggestions really that outrageous?

I would like to see this issue resolved as it creates division between our two communities. It is time that a solution is put in place instead of dancing around political correctness and single individuals taking action on what they feel they are entitled to. This issue is now much bigger then individuals and now the community leaders must take action.
