For the Bugs and the Black Bears: Keep Ontario Parks Wild!

Wildcanada.net Action Alert
Friday, November 12, 2004

If you love parks, please send a fax to the government of Ontario now. Now is your chance to send a personalized letter to let the Ontario government know how you think parks and protected areas must be managed.

Please take this opportunity to ensure strong and effective legislation for Ontario’s parks. Send a free fax to Ontario’s Premier McGuinty and provincial representatives at www.wildcanada.net/ontarioparks.

The provincial government is reviewing parks legislation with the intention of making 'ecological integrity' the overriding principle for all protected areas. This new legislation could finally give parks and protected areas the protection they need, but this will only happen with your input.

Take action now at www.wildcanada.net/ontarioparks.

Thanks to everyone who completed the survey and to those 1,300 individuals who have already written a letter to the Premier. If you have not sent a fax to the government of Ontario, please write now - as current legislation dates 50 years back, the opportunity to influence it may not come by very often!

Wildcanada.net, in partnership with the Wildlands League, will keep you informed on the process as new legislation develops, and any further opportunities to influence the protection and proper management of Ontario’s protected areas.
