Although the rain washed out some of our Earth Day events, it was a fantastic weekend across 5 communities, thanks to many volunteers.
There is still time to make a difference.

Protect the Places We Love – a letter to Graydon Smith, MPP, Earth Day 2023
Dear Minister Smith,
We, your Parry Sound-Muskoka constituents, are alarmed by your government’s failure to protect that which protects us — our wetlands, shorelines, forests and farmlands. Our climate future depends on protecting these resources. The results we want to see are:
• protection for wetlands systems recently disqualified by Bill 23
• reinstatement of municipal site plan approvals for developments under 10 units
• an end to paving over Ontario’s farmland
For the good of the local economy and the well-being of future generations, will you commit to achieving these goals?
Every signature sends a message.
It also reminds our friends and neighbours that we must continue to work every day to hold Ford and his government to account.
