White Lake, Ontario

• ... that White Lake Provincial Park (pictured) is the only provincial park in Ontario, Canada, with an exceptional provision allowing hydro activity as a non-conforming use? Source: Ref. #4: "Also as an exception to only the White Lake Park Addition of all the new parks and park additions, there is a provision for hydro activity as a non-conforming use."

5x expanded by P199 (talk). Self-nominated at 15:30, 26 October 2021 (UTC).

• This article was expanded about 10x and satisfies date criteria for nominations. The reference for the claim "it offers natural treasures such as orchids and bogs with insect-eating plants" is a deadlink (the site reports "Sorry, something went wrong"), but Internet Archive has a copy that states "Description provided through Wikipedia" (in fact, it copied an earlier version of this article), so this ref is invalid for the claim. This also means the second paragraph lacks a source, which is a general minimum per the guidelines, point D2. Page 4 of ref 5 states that there are 2 nature reserve zones, but the article states there is one. (However, this source also supports portions of the previous cited claim about orchids.) Everything else is properly sourced. Hook is sourced and of suitable length. Photo is suitably licenced, though perhaps it should be cropped to exclude the road. QPQ completed.
• So, just the issue with paragraph 2/ref 3 to take care of before promoting this DYK. Mindmatrix 00:15, 29 October 2021 (UTC)
• Aside: I've created commons:Category:White Lake Provincial Park (Ontario). Is the photo at File:White Lake Ontario.JPG of the park, or part of the lake unassociated with the park? Mindmatrix 00:33, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

• @Mindmatrix: Thanks for your review. I changed Ref #3 to the original source that I likely used back in 2006 (the 2006 version of Ontario Parks page). Adjusted it to say 2 nature reserve zones (although I was referring to the 3 different types, not the number of each). As for the photo, since the park is located on this portion of the lake, it shows both (see my annotations at Commons). Regards, P 1 9 9  ✉ 14:13, 29 October 2021 (UTC)

• Archived source supports claim, and thanks for the annotations on the photo at Commons. Mindmatrix 18:33, 30 October 2021 (UTC)
