Climate Action News and Updates

Only 10.9% of Ontario is protected land—and even that is now at risk. 'Bill 5' would let the province dismantle protections for the Greenbelt, Oak Ridges Moraine, provincial parks, and First Nations lands inside Special Economic Zones. Even neighbourhoods aren’t safe—ask Port Hope or Wasaga residents. (see below)
'Bills 17 & 60' pile on by tying the hands of municipalities, leaving communities powerless to defend their land, drinking water, and climate resiliency projects.
We all want good jobs and a strong economy with better development and sustainable solutions. Our youth’s Charter right to a healthy future depends on us now!
Elbows up, Ontario. Let’s protect what’s ours. Take action now.
