Many thanks to filmmaker Jerry Lockett for this interview with Chris Trider, one of the leaders of the Save Owls Head movement.

He designed well-loved coastal parks including MacCormacks Beach Provincial Park, Rainbow Haven Beach Provincial Park, Lawrencetown Beach Provincial Park, Pomquet Beach Provincial Park, and many more.
