THE PROBLEM
Ontario’s environment includes some of Canada’s best farmland, abundant freshwater and one of the world’s largest protected Greenbelts. But our environment is under threat from the Ontario government. Environmental rollbacks are allowing more sprawl to pave over prime farmland, aggregate operations to threaten water supplies and industry operations to threaten endangered species.
