We wholeheartedly disagree…

We wholeheartedly disagree with the proposed updates to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System without further consultation with Conservation Authorities’ experts and full transparency with the citizens of Ontario as to the veracity of the proposed changes.

Wetlands provide a critical habitat for threatened and endangered species such as the Least Bittern and the Spotted Turtle, as well as the provincially rare plant species, Stiff Yellow Flax. These and a number of other fish, wildlife and vegetation would be wiped out with the abolition of proper wetland evaluation and protection. We want to protect the Silver Creek Wetland from erroneous development and keep it as one of the most important features of our natural heritage in Ontario for generations to come.
