Discussing the Establishment of a Dark Sky Preserve

Prince Edward County’s Committee of the Whole has recommended that the council approve a staff investigation to potentially designate parts of South Marysburgh and Athol wards as a Dark Sky Preserve. This initiative, presented by Steven Burr from the South Shore Initiative and the Royal Astronomical Society of Canada, aims to combat light pollution—an issue detrimental to local biodiversity, wildlife migration, and cultural heritage. Proponents argue that creating a Dark Sky Preserve would promote environmental responsibility and enhance tourism, while some councillors raised concerns about the costs and practicality of implementing lighting regulations. The committee ultimately voted in favor of pursuing further exploration into the designation.
