Many people across our riding share our values of wanting to put people and the planet before amassing wealth. We have the shared understanding that the science on climate is telling us we need to act quickly and decisively to stop global warming, to protect all of the species in our delicate ecosystems, and to protect our land, water, and air so that we build a sustainable future for our children. However, are we silent about our values on climate because we want to keep the peace in a world that is divided and divisive? Or are we silenced, keeping our heads down so as not to be targeted? Have we as a community fallen into climate silence? How can we change that?If transformation needs to happen for our communities to take the steps necessary to stay healthy, now and into the future, conversations need to happen. We need to reach across the divide with our message, we need to keep doing the work of tending to the places we love to make the change we want to see. We need to build understanding and shared purpose, we need to bring people on board to tackle the challenges we face.The internet is a very divisive space. Are our communities as divisive as that? How can you build bridges with your friends, family, colleagues, neighbours? Can you suspend your assumptions of them? Can you listen actively? Can you find a way to work together to protect our people and our land? What is important about the spaces you love? How can you get your community onboard with protecting the spaces we all love? Is there hope for our future? The Halton Hills Seniors for Climate have invited Dale Hamilton to present her One Woman Show, “The Gardener and the Golfer” to explore these questions. Please join their offering tomorrow in Georgetown. Spoiler alert: there is hope. And it starts with us. It starts with us having many conversations across the divide. #wellingtonhaltonhills #seniorsforclimate #climatesilence #fishbowldialogue hopeinaction ... See MoreSee Less

Decisions made at the municipal level are being overridden by Ford and his PC government in Ontario. We know locally what land is important to protect. How do we protect the places we love and the places of ecological and agricultural significance in our communities, when our provincial government is overriding local decision making? Municipal leaders are having their power taken away, while still shouldering the same level of responsibility to serve their local community. When will Ford and his enabler, Joseph Racinsky, stop their vicious attack on democracy in Ontario?#fightford #WellingtonHaltonHills #josephracinskyvotedforthis #ProtectOurLand #sevengenerationsHelp Protect Puslinch is hosting a community meeting at the Puslinch Community Centre on Wednesday, June 3rd at 7:00pm.•Learn more about the proposed MZO and its potential impact•Hear from community leaders and special guests:David Donnelly, environmental and municipal lawyer from Donnelly LawMike Balkwill, Small Change FundSandra Pady, Founder of the Donkey Sanctuary of Canada•Ask questions and discuss next steps•Show strong public support for responsible planning and local decision-makingRSVP on our website.

WHH Residents Speak Up

Dear Editor:

Bill 5 is a disaster for the environment and our democracy.

“You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone,” sang Joni Mitchell. This is a wake-up call to us all that if we don’t act, we may lose much of what we value as Ontarians and Canadians.

The riding of Wellington-Halton Hills is blessed. We’re surrounded by the Greenbelt, fertile farmland and the magnificent Niagara Escarpment.

These natural assets store carbon, cool the atmosphere and absorb flooding while providing critical habitat for diverse species, including humans.

Bill 5 ‘a disaster’
Jeannine d’Entremont, Halton Hills

Wellington Advertiser, May 5, 2025

Dear Editor:

I have been silent thus far on Bill 5. I have let others sound the alarm, stand up and against this dangerous legislation that threatens our democracy, our environment and consultation with our Indigenous nations. I have hoped against hope that Conservative MPPs would have learned from the debacle of the Greenbelt scandal.

Bill 5 raises the stakes to a whole new consequential level under the guise of “special economic zones.”

Bill 5 is high-handed opportunism, reactionary and disrespectful.

Silent no more
Cinda Richardson, Fergus

Wellington Advertiser, June 14, 2025

Dear Editor:

Despite significant opposition from Indigenous groups, diverse civil society organizations and thousands of Ontarians, the Government of Ontario passed Bill 5 last week.

This legislation infringes on Indigenous rights, gives unchecked powers to provincial ministers, dismantles protections for Ontario’s most vulnerable species, overrides municipal planning and undermines democratic processes.

The public outcry about Bill 5 has been deafening from groups across sectors. More than 100 national, provincial and local organizations signed a joint letter opposing the replacement of the Endangered Species Act.

Unchecked powers
John Hassell, Ontario Nature

Wellington Advertiser, June 11, 2025

Dear Editor:

Premier Doug Ford claims Bill 5 will “Protect Ontario by Unleashing Our Economy.”

This bill will not protect Ontarians like you and me. In fact, part of the bill, the “Special Economic Zones Act,” removes the very laws and regulations that are meant to protect us, so that companies can more quickly profit. The bill even includes protection against lawsuits for projects within special Ford zones.

What happens when for-profit companies are unleashed? Here are some imaginable futures …

Making the rich richer
Ailsa Kay, Fergus
Wellington Advertiser, August 13, 2025

Dear Editor:

Doug Ford is at it again! He wanted to break up the Greenbelt to make developers millions of dollars. He was called out by voters and his own MPPs and finally reversed course. Now he has devised another way to grab land and power in Bill 5.

The bill ignores environmental legislation and protections, archeological investigations, and consultation with the First Nations.

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.
