Save Ontario Wetlands is a grassroots campaign started by wetland ecologists in response to an unprecedented attack on the province’s wetlands. In using Minister’s Zoning Orders as loopholes to pave over Provincially Significant Wetlands and repeated attacks on Ontario’s Conservation Authorities, Doug Ford’s Conservative government have demonstrated their contempt for these keystone ecosystems. The latest threat comes from Bill 23 - the More Homes Built Faster Act and related changes that will create a gold rush of sprawl development and put Ontario’s wetlands in jeopardy.
