The provincial election is less than two weeks away, with Ontarians set to go to the polls June 2.
The next government has a major role to play in protection of our environment. Ontario is home to one-fifth of the world’s fresh water, has the world’s third largest wetland, 3,600 plant species, 70 Important Bird Areas, 240-plus species at risk and approximately 300 species of breeding birds. The provincial government has primary jurisdiction over these lands and waters. Whomever Ontarians elect on June 2 will have lasting impact on how we treat our beautiful province.
Your vote will decide whether Ontario addresses the biodiversity and climate crises. Please make your voice heard.
Don’t sit this election out. Together, we can be the voice for wild species and wild spaces on election day.
