I disagree with the proposed updates to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System. 

The Silver Creek Wetland, is a provincially significant wetland, that is located in Collingwood, ON in the Nottawasaga Watershed. This area is important for the people that live in/near the area as it is responsible for flood control. Additionally, these wetlands provide a habitat for numerous at risk species such as the Spotted Turtle and Least Bittern (small heron). There are also many rare plants that would be destroyed. Development of this area would not only end up killing numerous animals and plants in this area but could end up leading to the extinction of some of these species as more and more of their habitats get destroyed.

I want to protect the Silver Creek Wetland from development and keep it as one of the most important features of our natural heritage in Ontario for generations to come.
