Stop putting the interests…

Stop putting the interests of well-connected, wealthy developers ahead of the people, places and wildlife we love.

Wasaga Beach Provincial Park isn’t just a summer destination, it’s one of the last remaining nesting grounds for the endangered Piping Plover in Ontario. These tiny shorebirds have made a fragile comeback since 2007, thanks to years of careful stewardship and protection.

Now, all that is at risk.

First, the critical protection through the Endangered Species Act was repealed when DF rammed Bill 5 through the legislature.

And now? Ford’s government has proposed selling chunks of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park for development. That land includes critical nesting habitat for the Piping Plover, which could be lost forever if this goes through.

And it gets worse. Ford also wants to change the law to make it easier to sell off any provincial park to Ford-connected developers.

Enough with the corruption and focus on saving the wildlife now.
