Ontario needs legislated…

Ontario needs legislated building codes that protect birds. At a time when biodiversity globally is threatened, and that avian biodiversity is clearly in danger in Canada, Ontario is well positioned to use simple, cost-effective design principles that prevent needless loss of birds to window collisions. Ontario is a significant part of a continent-spanning habitat for native birds, part of an ecosystem that stretches from the Arctic to the southern tip of Argentina. Taking this sensible act to protect bird diversity here is a gift to this entire ecosystem. Please don't assume birds 'can go somewhere else'. They cannot. Please adopt building codes that show our collective accountability to life.
