If you are so concerned about the First Nation and other historical legacies of this part of 16 Mile Creek then I cannot understand why you do not want to see the valley returned to natural splendor as parkland. That is far more respectful than a environmentally harmful golf course.

As for a community asset, the valley would become naturalized parkland open to ALL members of the community and not a pricey playground for the affluent. 

You have a lot to learn about the dimensions of meaningful legacy and true heritage.
