Just a suggestion, but it may be helpful if you offer compromises instead of just asking to restore the status quo. Obviously some residents have some issues with divers, but we don't know exactly what they are so we can't suggest any alternatives. Technically I think they do have the right to ban scuba diving -- for everybody -- from Kelvin if they wanted to, but that's not our objective.
Some compromises to consider:
1. if Lions Bay turned some of the resident-only parking into paid parking with a 3 hour limit, that would help generate some revenue. Right now the resident passes generate nothing
2. make some parking spots available on the other side of the railway tracks closer to the washrooms so divers aren't changing within range of that old guy with the telephoto lens
3. offer to restrict diving to daylight hours, say, between 10am and 6pm. Night divers must drive them crazy
4. offer to restrict diving to the spring, fall and winter. Visibility is terrible in the summer anyway
5. offer to help fund the upgrade of the facilities through donations from local divers. Even something as simple as a hedge would work as a changing room
I don't think there's a solution that would make everybody happy, but I doubt we'll get very far if we give them a list of demands and expect them to amend their bylaws to suit people who don't live there. If we're courteous and demonstrate that we're prepared to help find workable solutions to their concerns, they may actually be willing to listen to us. Threats of lawsuits and human rights complaints will only create a hostile atmosphere, so even though those are going on in the background, it's best not to draw attention to them.
Does anybody know any divers who live in Lions Bay? They should be in on this too.
