The two lakes were the focus of public reviews after the Tim Horton Foundation Youth Leadership Camp identified camp locations near the lakes.

Meditation Lake and the surrounding area is popular sites for canoeing and fishing. It was subject to public review as a possible site for the Tim Horton's camp. The review process led the province to keep Meditation Lake as undeveloped backcountry, with a new option for Tim Horton's camp west of Sylvia Lake.

The Tim Hortons camp at Sylvia Lake is expected to open in 2012. The lands adjacent to the Tim Hortons camp at Sylvia Lake, near Pinawa, Manitoba will not be developed or made accessible for new cottage development, states Blaikie. No licence has been issued yet for the camp at Sylvia Lake, based on the Manitoba Conservation online registry.

"A land-use category change will be initiated in the near future," according to Blaikie.

As of March 17, 2011 no regulatory changes for protect areas had been made, nor had the Whiteshell Provincial Park land use categories been updated under Manitoba's Parks Act.

"We would like to see a public review and plans for the new no logging zones in provincial parks. To date they are not protected lands, and management plans are not in place. These steps would have averted the Tim Horton's complications," stated Gaile Whelan Enns, director of Manitoba Wildlands.
