Anywhere along the lake the migrating water birds are amazing as they come through. Some we only see for a few days......the importance to the bird population of having natural areas around the lake can't be understated......now we have a mega highway proposed through wetlands.

Lake Simcoe and it's habitat is changing from Winter to Spring. With that, more birds can be spotted, like this cute Scaup! 💙@ducanada

😡Please Sign, help farmers- "this is the heart of the Wilmot agriculture community, it is thriving vegetable farms, dairy farms, even a local farmer making award winning cheese (Mountain Oak Cheese).  It has environmental sensitivity, there are water concerns....." @kthomason

@RescueLakeSimc1 Thanks for all you do for Lake Simcoe!
Happy World Water Day.

Ontario Government proposes more gutting of Endangered Species rules to better protect sprawl developers https://t.co/9YvZP6Rby6 via @envirodefence #Stopthe413 #ONpoli

@nowtoronto @Lynx_Air They just cancelled a flight loaded with people sitting on the runway on the way to Florida.

Lake Simcoe rivers are having water quality and quantity issues.

[Greenbelt Alliance @GreenbeltAllies]

The world has a groundwater problem — the Oak Ridges Moraine ❤️of the Greenbelt provides 250,000+ people drinking well water. We must not cap it with development https://t.co/DzQn6sUiqt via @NatObserver

[LakeSimcoeLife @LakeSimcoeLife]

The 413 and Bradford Bypass are not about solving traffic or the Province would purchase the empty 407 back and open it up tomorrow. Mega highways = urban sprawl development. We saw this with the 404...the further a highway goes, the more fields of houses and heavier the traffic.

[Phil Pothen 🇨🇦 he/him @pothen]

If you want to know what the Highway 413 Scheme is really about, you only need to look at a map.

It's a MASSIVE taxpayer subsidy to divert construction away from existing neighborhoods (grey) & into McMansion sprawl on farmland (yellow) owned by its "friends". #onpoli

[Town of Georgina @georginatown]

The Town has started a pilot project to allow the use of licensed off-road vehicles on Town roads in the Waterfront Park Buffer Zone & the Ward 5 catchment area. This is in effect until April 15 to allow people to access Lake Simcoe for ice fishing. More: https://t.co/lAM92t3QBf.

Tune in! #tightlines Spring is not too far off.

[FISH TV @teamfishtv]

If you are looking for trophy Perch then Lake Simcoe is the place to be! The lake is known for its jumbo Perch and in this show it never let us down. Tune in on Saturday(Jan 20) on Global at 930am to see how we put giant Spring Perch into the boat.

Groups are still working hard to protect the Greenbelt. Longtime advocates @STORMCoalition @CCKTCA Have NEVER given up. https://t.co/IM54TMZ3R7

[Rescue Lake Simcoe Coalition @RLSC_Watershed]

Last weekend we had rain, snow & ice. With all that, lots of road salt as well.
Listen to Rescue #LakeSimcoe Coalition's interview on CBC Radio's Ontario Morning show to learn more.

Greenbelts exist around the globe. The concept is not unique to Ontario and this article delves into the original intent in England. The reasons for the housing crisis go beyond the green belt | Letters https://t.co/Lr4hWYie8r

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️The year of the Greenbelt: how Doug Ford’s bid to build housing on protected land backfired: https://t.co/BJLiR2jtHY Thanks @thenarwhalca @EmmaMci you were relentless exposing facts.We have never seen so many journalists, groups + individuals work together like that.

[Greenbelt Alliance @GreenbeltAllies]

Modeling shows ground water resources in this Oak Ridges Moraine + Greenbelt region. 250,000+ people depend on well water. The moraine is similar to a Brita filter, snowmelt + rain replenish the aquifers. If we pave + develop over it you are capping it. FOREVER. #SaveDontPave

Province drops $1.3M into Lake Simcoe for phosphorous reduction + metals in the lake. Be interesting to see if the contaminants from the toxic Thane site have reached the lake yet. @ecojustice_ca https://t.co/bYZAXWIUIn via @newmarkettoday
