Excited to write a letter to my MPP and Ontario ministers to let them know I’m against the Ford agenda to fast track development and gut environmental protections. Remove Schedule 6 from #Bill229!

🗣️Conservation Authorities are under fire!🗣️

The Government of Ontario plans to severely curtail their role using Budget Bill 229. Please sign and share our #ActionAlert to urge the Government to withdraw these proposed changes. #onpoli
