The debate over Billy Bishop Airport isn't just about jets vs. noise, it's about future of Toronto’s waterfront. For many, the harbour is cottage country. Do we take that away for increased flights? Or continue to restore the connection to Lake Ontario? https://t.co/uqOx1oVRsR

The MNO is proud to announce the release of its Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Strategy, rooted in the priorities and needs of Métis citizens across the province.

Species Spotlight: Eastern Cottonwood (Populus deltoides)

Eastern Cottonwood is one of the fastest-growing native trees in Canada!

Known for its triangular leaves and fluffy, cotton-like seeds, this large deciduous tree is typically found along rivers, wetlands, and floodplains. Its deep root system helps stabilize shorelines and reduce erosion, while its canopy provides habitats that are important for birds, insects, and other wildlife. Eastern Cottonwood thrives in moist soils and full sun, making it a great choice for large naturalized spaces and shoreline restoration projects.

Native to Eco Zones: 5a, 5b, 6a, 6b, 7a

Use the Native Plant Database to filter by region, type of plant, soil type, and light conditions to find plants that are a perfect match for your property 🌱

Toronto's aging infrastructure means a heavy downpour quickly triggers sewer overflows. Engineering fixes take decades, but honest communication shouldn't. Why the City needs to ditch the PR spin and tell the truth about our water quality https://t.co/iu1ueXNQma

Join us in honoring Ali's legacy as we look back on significant moments from 10 years ago.

Ever wondered what’s hiding in the deepest, darkest corners of the Great Lakes?

We’re teaming up with @HiddenBelowFilm to send an underwater drone to the deepest known point in the Great Lakes on June 6 at 1 PM and livestream what we find.

🐟🐢 It’s #WorldFishMigrationDay & #WorldTurtleDay
The Niagara River supports migrating fish and 8 turtle species, most of which are at risk. With two ecosystems — Upper & Lower Niagara River — divided by Niagara Falls, healthy habitats and clean water are essential. 🌊
