8 ANNUAL REPORT 2018–2019 Land URBAN DEVELOPMENT GOES GREEN
09 ANNUAL REPORT 2018–2019 In a choice between nature and development, Allan Shaw chose to go green. Surprisingly Allan Shaw and the Shaw Group are helping connect Halifax residents with a new urban wilderness area. close to downtown Halifax, there is wild land. From a high point, surrounded by rocky barrens and the peace of the forest, the city’s tallest buildings are in view. The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) has been working to conserve this natural oasis, soon to be called the Shaw Wilderness Park. The 154-hectare (380-acre) proposed park marries nature conservation with naturebased recreation. The project is happening thanks to the many citizens of Halifax who are passionate to explore, and ultimately protect, this land. Allan Shaw is one of them. Allan is the chairman of the Shaw Group Ltd., the company that owned this land. Together with NCC and the Halifax Regional Municipality, the project will conserve forest around Williams Lake and Colpitt Lake, within the Purcell’s Cove Backlands. “We originally bought the land here for development,” explains Allan. “We found out that the citizens of Halifax really wanted to see this area protected, then NCC came to see us. They asked if we would be willing to sell the land to them, and I said, ‘We’ll talk.’”
