I am alarmed and…

I am alarmed and disheartened by the disregard for nature and conservation shown by the current Conservative Government's Bill to change the current Building Code. Allowing vast tracts of previously protected and revered greenspace to be developed with disregard to already rather minor levels of protection will result in huge losses for birds and many creatures that inhabit our forests and streams.

Future generations will all pay the price for the loss of habitat and wildlife in areas in terms of pollution and loss of parkland and greenspace. Birds are at great risk without protection of Bird Friendly Building Design. Why must we step backward as a society and not strive to see a long term solution that will benefit the most people in the years to come?

The only option for bird friendly building design to be implemented in Ontario at the provincial level! We are pressing for Bird friendly building design standard to be incorporated into the next edition of Ontario’s Building Code.

Thank you for taking the time to consider my plea.
