Development is slated to start this spring, 1 March. We need to act now.Have you seen our transit shelter ads in and around Minister Julie Dabrusin’s riding? Minister Dabrusin is the Federal Minister of the Environment, and she can save the piping plover at Wasaga Beach. Link in bio to ask her to act NOW.
Wasaga Beach is precious to everyone in Ontario. People in our riding are not too far away from this gem on Georgian Bay. ![]()

This natural space is ecologically important, the piping plover population will not survive the development of this beach.![]()

It is a place where many people go to rest in the beauty of nature. Ontarians have spoken a resounding “No!” to developing this beach. Yet the Ford government has turned over this provincial parkland for development. The beach is supposed to remain open to the public, but instead of gentle dunes and pure nature, we will have a massive Marriott Hotel right on the shore, hoping to draw scores of tourists. They will have an outdoor stage on the beach because nothing says nesting season like loud entertainment into the night.![]()

Ontario Nature mentions actions you can take to stand up to another luxury development taking over public land. Do Ontarians want to keep sacrificing our nature - and thus a sustainable future - to allow companies to make a profit?![]()

It is so shortsighted.![]()

Does anyone know if the developer and Marriott Hotel are aware of how angry Ontarians are about this development? Boycotts are a great way to send a message. Let’s boycott Marriott Hotel. They do not need to build on ecologically significant land which is provincial parkland. ![]()

Who will we hold responsible when the piping plover’s population is extinct? There is not enough accountability of our governments. We will sue the for-profit companies that caused the harm, in this case Marriott Hotels.![]()

Don’t you just want to protest Ford’s miserable attack on students with baskets? Ignorance and greed should not form the basis of educational policy in this province. 🧺🧺🧺![]()

The Ford government may try and pull us down, but the people united will never be defeated! 💚

Jeannine D’Entremont and Sharon Sommerville are local environmental and democracy activists and members of Grandmothers Act to Save the Planet (GASP). They recently wrote for the Hamilton Spectator to share their research on the many bills eviscerating environmental protections, passed by the Ford government. ![]()
![]()
Their article begins, “In just 51 sitting days in 2025, the Ford government rammed through a series of sweeping omnibus bills — framed as a response to the threat posed by Donald Trump’s tariffs — that will slash environmental protections, centralize power, limit your ability to oppose developments in your towns and cities and parks, while also doubling our deficit to $13.5 billion.”![]()
![]()
They cite several examples of these bills and what they mean in terms of destroying our land, putting our people at risk, and ignoring the citizens of this province. These bills are eroding democracy in real time. ![]()

Bill 5, Bill 17, Bill 24, Bill 26, Bill 46, Bill 60, Bill 68 were all rammed through an exceptionally short legislative season. 2025 saw the lowest number of days in Ontario history in which our MPPs had the opportunity to table bills and engage in discussion and debate. Our government sat for only 51 days in 2025. The average number of days in the past several decades has been 85 days. ![]()
![]()
Ford called for such short legislative sessions to curb opportunities for committees to convene, for community members, experts, and stakeholders to speak. Ford is not honouring the process of our democracy to hear all voices and to allow for thorough, thoughtful debate. It isn’t fair, it isn’t just, it is undemocratic. It undermines the stability that democracy should afford us as Ontarians.![]()

The authors offer a list of actions we each can take to stand up for our land and our people, for building a sustainable future, and for defending our democracy. The time is now, please stand up with us. This is far more than partisan politics, this is fighting for our democratic rights. ![]()

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?
