Is Betty Chanyi A Two Timer?

In a Council meeting in September, 2013 Betty Chanyi moved a motion to close the 4th Concession at the bequest of the NCC.  At that time it wasn't publicly known how cozy the relationship between NCC and Ms Chanyi actually was.  Let us enlighten you.

Betty Chanyi is not only the Councilor of Ward 1, Norfolk County, she is also a director on the board at Long Point Region Conservation Authority as well as a director for the Long Point Basin Land Trust.

NCC dontated $400,000 to the Long Point Basin Land Trust in 2012.
Was this the payment for Ms Chanyi's support for the road closure?

NCC donated $94,174 to the Long Point Region Conservation Authority in 2010.
The same year the deal was cut to purchase Backus Woods.

The NCC and Norfolk County

TheNature Conservancy of Canada (NCC), on the surface, sounds like a wonderful organization dedicated to the preservation of Lands in Canada for future generations. Their mission statement says, “The Nature Conservancy of Canada will lead, innovate and use creativity in the conservation of Canada's natural heritage. We will secure important natural areas through their purchase, donation or other mechanisms, and then manage these properties for the long term.” According to the NCC's web site the organization was started in 1962 by a group of Naturalists to promote conservation. As the NCC grew through the purchase of many key properties, so did its visions of grandeur. The NCC and their partners now own 2.6 million acres across Canada and growing. I have to say that this is an incredible amount of property, and if conserved properly, will help protect the natural beauty of our country. However, there are a few issues with what the NCC has done and is currently doing in communities across Canada that are worth discussing. The NCC has entered into agreements with major industrial forces who are poisoning the rest of the planet to essentially mask their pollution, there are financial implications stemming from the NCC’s purchase of thousands of acres of land that will affect the residents of Norfolk County and we are losing some of Ontario's most fertile farmland.
