Take Action

This fall, the Ontario government followed through on its proposal to change Ontario’s park legislation to remove most of the beach and the prime nesting habitat from the Wasaga Beach Provincial Park. Other parks in your area may be at risk now that the door has been opened to removing parkland without due process. 

Take action and tell Premier Ford: Wasaga Beach and Ontario’s parks must be protected, not carved up for development     

As Trump threatens us, Ford’s response is to grab Trump-like powers by proposing a new omnibus bill that if passed would gut protections for vulnerable wildlife, fast track mining and development projects, trample Indigenous rights, silence local voices and create law-free zones for trusted proponents or areas as designated by cabinet.  

Stop Ford’s reckless power grab – Say NO to Bill 5!

Earlier this year, Parks Canada and Mushkegowuk Council took a major step toward protecting the rich offshore marine environment of western James Bay and southwestern Hudson Bay representing 85% of the incredible marine conservation vision of the Omushkego people.

Now we need the Ontario government to commit to protecting the globally significant coast and the remaining nearshore areas. 

The city of Guelph is growing rapidly; opportunities to protect its unique natural areas are shrinking. A national urban park in Guelph’s Reformatory Lands could buffer the city from some of the worst impacts of climate change and protect and restore nature all while advancing Indigenous Reconciliation. Make it official: protect nature, wildlife, and rich cultural history in Guelph’s former Reformatory Lands. Show your support for a national urban park in Guelph, Ontario.
