The fish that stopped a highway
Early this year the federal government issued a Protection Order for the endangered Redside Dace. This will essentially ban the construction of sprawl and Highway 413 throughout Redside Dace critical habitats. More about it here.
We’ve been pushing against sprawl and the 413 for years now. Thanks to everyone who wrote to federal ministers last fall to stop this highway.

Five Ways Home
Can’t find a place to live? Can’t afford the place you find? Ontario can build better!
This 3 minute video “Five Ways Home” shows how Ontario could solve the problems of affordable housing, homelessness, poverty, sprawl, and the climate threat by building better.
Or go here to see five short videos about each of the Five Ways Ontario could build faster and better. They are from our friends at the Alliance for a Liveable Ontario.
Did you see our letter to Halton Hills Council?
It appeared in Halton Hills Today in January. We asked Councillors to review Five Ways Home, to uphold the town’s goal of net-zero emissions by 2030, and to apply a climate lens to every decision they make. Click to read the entire letter. Then tell your Councillors you support anything or everything in the letter. Tell them why you care. Click here to get contact info for the Mayor, the two Councillors in your ward, and your Regional Councillor.
