Comments of the South Shore Joint Initiative

Since 2018, South Shore Joint Initiative and our valued partners have raised awareness about our South Shore, the last undisturbed land along the north shore of Lake Ontario and specifically, Point Petre Provincial Wildlife Area and Ostrander Point Crown Land Block. These globally significant public lands are internationally recognized as a critical migratory pathway and home to remarkable biodiversity.

The wellbeing of our beautiful South Shore and millions of migrating birds, amphibians, plants and reptiles is inextricably linked with the people who enjoy it. For these reasons and more, we’re thrilled that public consultation is underway to permanently protect and preserve these lands for current and future generations as a new Conservation Reserve.

SSJI and our 1250+ registered supports strongly support this initiative and look forward to working together with Ontario Parks to manage protection of this unique and biologically special area.
