Rescue Lake Simcoe Coalition

This is what we are worried about:

The Province of Ontario has ordered municipalities to plan for growth to 2051 that will result in huge population increases in the Lake Simcoe area and related environmental impacts, most notably loss of farmland and increased salt, stormwater runoff, and potentially sewage from new development.

There are good and bad ways to plan.

Good planning should result in better health and environmental outcomes, better access to public transit and affordable housing near transit, and should result in more equitable and vibrant communities with quality greenspace for all. Ideally, we would like to hear people advocating for a future that is more sustainable and equitable, from a wide variety of perspectives.
