A group of Clear Lake residents has filed an application for a judicial review of Parks Canada’s ban on motorized boats on the lake again this summer.
The ban was put in place just prior to the start of the May long weekend to try to stop the spread of invasive zebra mussels.
But the group, called "Fairness for Clear Lake", says the decision was made without consultation, or how it would affect the area’s economy.
In a release issued on Wednesday, the group says their goal is not conflict, but instead collaboration.
The group, which filed the application on June 16, wants a judge to declare the decision "invalid or unlawful" and order the attorney general of Canada to allow motorized watercraft back onto the lake.
It also wants to uncover the evidence Parks Canada used to make its decision, and reinstate accountability in federal decision-making.
