Rally to highlight the importance of climate, communities and nature to the upcoming Ontario Election<\/em><\/p>\n

Toronto | Traditional territories of the Huron-Wendat, the Anishnaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Chippewas and the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation \u2013 Environmental, social justice, labour, health, and faith groups will gather on Saturday May 14, 1 p.m. at Queen\u2019s Park, to call out Ontario’s abysmal track record on the environment and urge climate leadership and stronger protections for nature.<\/p>\n

Currently, Ontario is not on track to meet even its own weak greenhouse gas emissions target. Meanwhile, the province has been dismantling protections for nature, and continues to push for more highways and sprawl development on farmland, wetlands and the Greenbelt. The people of Ontario expect more from their next government and will make that known at the steps of the legislature.<\/p>\n
