#WellingtonHaltonHills #protectconservationlands #ProtectOntario #PeoplePower #organizingmakeschangeYOUR activism, your voices, and your support led to today's victory: the Guelph City Council voted unanimously to protect the 20 acres of Kortright Waterfowl Parklands to open space / parkland, which was originally at risk of being sold off for development. Now, these lands are protected for flora, fauna, and families to enjoy.
Homelessness is a systemic failure. It is the failure of a government to force people with disabilities to live in legislated poverty on ODSP. The failure of a government to provide affordable housing. It is the failure of a government to provide comprehensive, effective programs for addictions. It is the failure of a government to lead with love. ![]()

February 10 is Canada’s Agriculture Day and this year marks the ten year anniversary of formally honouring the hardworking individuals who bring food to our tables and the incredible contributions of agriculture to our nation’s prosperity, health and well-being. Together we celebrate the people, the passion and the pride behind Canadian agriculture. (Quoted from the Ontario Agri-Food Innovation Alliance Newsletter.)![]()

The Ontario Greens are committed to making sure that farmers can continue to grow food locally. Food sovereignty is important. Locally grown food is the most healthy and sustainable way to feed our communities. Agriculture lies at the heart of our economy. We need to make sure that farmland is protected to protect our future. ![]()

Both of these charities serve people experiencing hurt, homelessness, and hunger. The need is urgent, and growing. The Association of Municipalities of Ontario recently reported that 85 000 Ontarians were homeless in 2024. That number is up 25 per cent since 2022. Homelessness rates are higher in rural communities and there are less supports available. ![]()

As Greens, we can work to make people’s lives better right now by showing up and getting involved in our communities. We can do this even as we build to facilitate systems change in electing a leader who would prioritize solving the housing crisis for everyone, including those struggling the most. ![]()

WHH Residents Speak Up
The Protect Our Food Act
Proposed by Ontario Greens Leader and Guelph MPP Mike Schreiner and Independent MPP for Haldimand–Norfolk Bobbi Ann Brady
Here in Wellington and Halton:
- 2,600+ farms grow what our families eat.
- 12% of Ontario’s dairy cattle and milk production.
- 10% of the province’s poultry and egg farms.
- 8% of hog and pig operations.
Halton Hills’ agri-business sector adds $50 million to the local economy each year — and its greenhouses and nurseries are major local employers.
Once farmland is destroyed, it’s gone forever.
- In the past 35 years, Ontario has lost 2.8 million acres — 18% of farmland.
- Farmland loss is accelerating: 319 acres per day (about nine family farms per week).
Local stakes
- A Mississauga developer is appealing to the Ontario Land Tribunal to turn Class A farmland north of Elora/Salem into sprawl — in direct opposition to the Township’s efforts to protect farmland.
- The Township is fighting for farmland; the Province is siding with developers.
But with the Protect Our Food Act, communities like ours will have a chance to defend local farms.
What can you do?
- Email Joseph Racinsky to support the Foodbelt
- Sign the petition
- Donate locally to the Wellington-Halton Hills Constituency Association
Make a difference today. Protect Ontario farmland.
