Why does it matter that we be able to continue growing our food in Ontario?![]()
![]()
Food sovereignty matters. It matters that we protect our precious farmland so that we can feed our own communities. 65% of the food we grow in Ontario feeds Ontarians. ![]()
![]()
Our economy matters. Our agricultural sector employs one in ten Ontarians. It is a $50-billion industry in Ontario.![]()

To ensure that we can keep growing in Ontario for a future that is peaceful and prosperous, we need to protect the land that feeds us. We will never get back farmland that gets developed, it will be gone forever. Southern Ontario has the richest farmland in Canada, along with the Okanagan Valley. That land and the food it grows is irreplaceable. ![]()

We are deeply sorry for the loss of life and the tragic circumstances that our fellow Canadians in Tumbler and in the province of BC are grieving. We are grieving with them. Wishing them peace and comfort. 🕊️💔🫂

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
