I am advocating for changes…

I am advocating for changes to Bill23 to address the need for a province-wide bird friendly building design standard. 

With the release of the latest report assessing the status of wildlife across Canada that paints a clear picture of nature in crisis, we cannot afford to take any measures that birds at risk, not to mention other creatures that our part of our diverse environment.

The cost of making a new building safe for birds typically represents a small fraction of the overall construction cost, and Ontario architects already know how to do it effectively. Indeed, bird friendly building design is a growing industry that offers many opportunities to add beauty, value and environmental sustainability to new buildings.
