Outstanding! Everyone wins: new services for community without producing GHG.

📣Slated to open this summer, King’s new Township-Wide Recreation Centre will be the first carbon-zero, combined aquatics and ice-sports community facility in Canada! To learn how the facility is reducing its carbon footprint, visit https://t.co/YjaBDdanWs. @CAGBC

Picking up after your dog show respect for everyone else walking on the trails and streets and playing in the parks.

[King Township @KingTownship]

Keep our parks clean! 🌳🐾 Dispose of pet waste in your green bin at home or a waste bin when in the community. #KingTownship parks, roadways and sidewalks are routinely patrolled for animal control issues. #StoopAndScoop offences are fined $200. Details: https://t.co/YjaBDdanWs

I support @thenarwhalca. You should too. https://t.co/gg8nkXlUEE @fundjournalism

@_DebSchulte @ahmadiyyacanada It was a very important event. We need to have more events which bring together people from the different faiths so we can explore and understand our commonality as human beings. That commonality needs to be dominated by Love and not hatred.

If we want local food we need to start paying attention!

I totally support Mayor Steve Pellegrini’s (King Township)statement that a proposal to amalgamate York Region municipalities into one mega city is not a good idea. https://t.co/dvJtXpWuOq

@_DebSchulte @UHN @cancersociety That is something to cheer! Wonderful

[STORM Coalition @STORMCoalition]

Approval of the proposed long-term care center at Mary Lake will be decided by King City Committee of Adjustment on April 19th. Against the planning report submitted by AFOI., we believe this proposal fails to conform with the ORM Conservation Plan. #yorkregion #kingcity

[Debbie Schaefer @Debbie_Schaefer]

@STORMCoalition @GreenbeltAllies The magnitude of proposed construction a stone’s thrown from the kettle lake is shocking!

[Debbie Schaefer @Debbie_Schaefer]

The interconnectedness of land features is why that it is folly to carve out land from the Greenbelt and think that the adjacent lands and beyond are not impacted.

[ann g @agibson62]

@GreenbeltAllies @RescueLakeSimc1 @onheadwaters @StopSprawlYR Hey @fordnation there is a reason this land is protected. Your greed is disgusting and won’t be forgotten. Those who protected this land and those who advocate for its protection know what’s right and you obviously don’t #HandsOffTheGreenbelt

[Debbie Schaefer @Debbie_Schaefer]

The interconnectedness of land features is why it’s folly to carve out a hunk and to think it doesn’t have an impact beyond the property line.

[Debbie Schaefer @Debbie_Schaefer]

@eekfarms @YorkRegionGovt @LSRCA @GHfoodfarming Congratulations Avia! A very well deserved reappointment.

Very succinct summary of how Bill 23 threatens our Main Streets across Ontario. And very creative ideas how to leverage buildings currently wasted.

[Margaret P 🦉 @margaretprophet]

@ClaireMalc laying it out! 😤🔥

[Debbie Schaefer @Debbie_Schaefer]

Consequences of bill 23 cannot be undone. The consequences will be felt by all: the current generations and future ones.

[Debbie Schaefer @Debbie_Schaefer]

It will not be possible to recover from the damages incurred by Bill 23. Once you sprawl it’s there forever after.

[Greenbelt Alliance @GreenbeltAllies]

'Hell no. We won't accept this.' More than 250 people rally in Pickering to protect the Greenbelt - Follow ⁦@NoSprawlDurham⁩ https://t.co/tAQrtkko52

[Marilyn Iafrate @marilyniafrate]

Vaughan residents Marcella and Sara joined thousands of like minded people at QPark opposing attacks on our environment, greenbelt and construction of hwy 413 the most environmentally destructive hwy of our times @envirodefence @GreenbeltAllies @STOPthe413NOW

[Debbie Schaefer @Debbie_Schaefer]

I never have understood how the final 413 route was selected. The documents show that it was NOT because it was the route which would cause the least environmental damage. So much lost to create a 59km hwy which will enable more sprawl with auto dependent residents.

[Friend of the Golden Horseshoe @GGHfriends]

The big loser is the public. This top-down imposition of tall and sprawl needs to be rejected. We need to grow the region in a healthy and sustainable way through collaboration, not irresponsible diktats. #housing #TOC #onpoli https://t.co/ARS66GDzsu
