Piping Plover birds are facing innumerable threats, and the tiny patch of habitat at Wasaga beach is the most productive habitat in the province since their return in 2007.

Please stop the land transfer, you know that it's a bad idea. And Ford can give the money to you without involving stripping land from Wasaga beach provincial park.

Save the point.

The Ontario Government must ensure that Piping Plovers are conserved and protected by a science-based management plan and resources that:

Reduces threats to Piping Plover and their habitat year-round by restricting mechanical raking so that the habitat is not destroyed, prohibiting dune alteration, and protecting nests with fenced buffer zones and natural predator mitigations.
Commits funding to protect, conserve, and steward Piping Plovers, their nests, and their habitats.
Engages experts like Birds Canada at development and implementation phases.
