I am quite concerned about these proposed changes. Wetlands are tremendously important environmental features, and tremendously vulnerable ones to boot. They provide flood mitigation, carbon storage, water filtration and are home to large amounts of unique species. Lire davantage

Poorly though out legislation on many levels. 1. The ESA is not perfect, removing SAR scoring will lead to habitat loss and species decline. Lire davantage

I strongly oppose the proposed updates to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System. This short sighted legislation will worsen what I feel is our most pressing problem in the province - climate change and loss of biodiversity. Lire davantage

The proposed changes to the regulation of Ontario’s wetlands will un-ravel vital protections for these essential ecosystems. We need wetlands to regulate water flow, reduce flooding and erosion, reduce pollution, protect biodiversity and provide much-needed greenspace. Lire davantage

Stripping away safeguards to protect wetlands is not only dangerous, it is completely unnecessary. There is plenty of adequate land in and around cities and towns ready for medium density housing solutions. Lire davantage

It is well-known ecologically that wetlands are critical to water filtration, flood retention, erosion control, carbon storage, nutrient cycling and groundwater recharge. They also provide habitat for specialized wildlife communities. Lire davantage

I can offer a unique perspective on both Wetland Evaluations and Development Planning, having worked as a provincial biologist-wetland evaluator for 35 years and now as a private consultant and Species at Risk expert. Lire davantage

Wetlands require MORE protection from experts, not less. It is completely unacceptable to assign municipalities the responsibility of determining which wetlands must be destroyed for development. Lire davantage

Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the Proposed Updates to the Ontario Wetland Evaluation System. The proposed changes will reduce the size and function of provincially significant wetlands by removing protection from wetland "units" making up a wetland complex. Lire davantage

A stable and predictable wetland classification system for the small portion of original Southern Ontario wetlands that remain is very important. Lire davantage

I am quite concerned about certain omissions from the OWES manual that will impact the integrity of wetlands in the future. Particularly, the revisions downplay the need for thorough evaluations informed by expert knowledge. Lire davantage

This is to inform you and our government that as an Ontario citizen I am very opposed to all the proposed changes to policies regarding our Ontario wetlands in order to allow development and housing on them. Lire davantage

Cheap, shoddy housing that with flood. Built on essential land that everyone needs. Why does the government so badly want us to fail as a province? Rather than making over a million garbage houses constructed from Kleenex, fix our actual crappy pre-existing communities.

Please reconsider this proposal, we need more protection of wetlands not less! There are other lands that can be utilized for much-needed housing without causing further environmental destruction

Wetlands provide many critical economic, social, and environmental services (Whiteley and Irwin 1986, Zedler and Kercher 2005, Yang et al. 2016). Lire davantage
