With the signing of Bill 23…

With the signing of Bill 23 which if kept as is will eliminate municipalities ability to develop their own green standards, we desperately need a province wide bird friendly design standard. Many cities in Ontario, including the largest sit in the middle of the Atlantic flyway. Each year thousands of birds are killed due to window strikes. Toronto's bird friendly design standard was making headway, saving many birds using bird friendly frits (dots) on glass heavy buildings. I personally volunteer my time documenting deceased and injured birds in the downtown core and have seen first hand what a different the treated windows can make. The treated windows add negligible cost and time to a new build and should not be considering "red tape". Please do not undo all the years of hard work that has gone into the bird friendly design standards.
Thank you for your time
