Call to Action (to May 1, 2019)

The Government of Ontario is asking for feedback to help identify ways to cut red tape and create jobs in the aggregate industry, deadline May 1, 2019.

Food & Water First wants to make it clear that environmental protections are not “red tape”.

We need to protect our prime farmland, Greenbelt and fresh water sources.

To that end, North Dufferin Agricultural & Community Taskforce (NDACT) has made a Call to Action to help the provincial government set priorities.

You can respond by:

1. Answer online survey,  or
2. e-mail concerns to AggregateReform@ontario.ca.

For ideas and examples:

– sample survey submission as provided by one of our activists

– NDACT’s e-mailed submission (.pdf)

– Suggested Recommendations for Changes to the Aggregate Resources Act & Underlying Policies (2019)

 

Please don’t be intimidated.  Let the government know your thoughts on protecting our future even if it is just one paragraph.  Every little bit helps.

Thank you for all that you do.
