If this nesting site is destroyed, this unique species could disappear from Ontario forever.

First the #Greenbelt. Then #OntarioPlace. Now Ford wants to sell off 60% of the shoreline of #WasagaBeach Provincial Park and is proposing to amend Ontario’s park legislation, putting all of our parks at risk.

As the legislature returns this fall, we’re keeping a close watch on the regulations and where the Premier will first invoke these reckless powers.
