Ontario’s newest provincial park may be getting even bigger 🌳🥾

@ONgov is proposing to expand Uxbridge Urban Provincial Park by 23 acres to protect ecologically significant lands, boost local tourism and provide more trails for park lovers to enjoy.

Do you get your water from a private well? Make sure to:
✅ Test your water at least 3 times a year (spring, summer, fall)
✅Keep your well cap secure and in good condition
✅Watch for changes in taste, smell, or colour

Severe weather has reshaped many of our forested landscapes — and together, we’re helping them recover.

In recent years, provincial parks have been impacted by extreme weather, invasive species, and shoreline erosion. To restore these natural spaces and support species conservation, we are working with @OntarioParks to plant 12,000 native trees and shrubs across nine provincial parks.

Last fall and this spring, 4,500 potted trees and shrubs representing 39 native species were planted in targeted areas throughout those nine parks. An additional 7,500 seedlings were recently planted at Samuel de Champlain Provincial Park to help it rebuild after extensive storm damage forced the park's temporary closure in June 2025.

A heartfelt thank‑you to park staff, our nursery and planting partners, and the volunteers who helped us plant these future forests.
