‪It’s official schedule 10 of Bill 66 is dead. I want to thank the thousands of people who spoke out to protect the Greenbelt, water, farmland and green space. Protecting the people and places we love is not red tape. Bill 66 is still deeply flawed, but we can celebrate a victory on schedule 10. ... See more

Now more than ever it is so important to protect our Artisan spring and restore FREE ACCESS.

Hamilton City Council, sitting as the Board of Health and pending ratification at next Wednesday's Council ratification meeting, voted 10-0 to declare a Climate Change Emergency in Hamilton.
The effect of the wording is not the same as a "State of Emergency" under the Municipal Act, however, it was chosen to denote the seriousness of Climate Change to the future of our City, and the very question of if humanity will continue to exist on this planet.
With approximately 80 members of the public observing the daytime proceedings, Council spent nearly three hours debating. First, a "lite" motion that would've directed staff to research how to act on Climate Change, to create a mandate for a staff Climate Change Task Force.
The "lite" motion was amended following strong debating points by Ward 1 Councillor Maureen Wilson, and Ward 9 Councillor Brad Clark. Now the motion called for action, directed staff to report on how the City can accelerate its actions to cut carbon emissions quickly, research and draft changes to bylaws, zoning, policies, and economic growth plans to ambitiously move Hamilton towards being a carbon neutral municipality with the goal of being carbon free.
One of the more fascinating dynamics this term of Council is Wilson and Clark, sitting on opposite ends of the horseshoe shaped Council table using their debating points to force Mayor Fred Eisenberger to act upon the positions he articulates - words which are usually empty platitudes with any action by the Mayor.
Having secured amendments, and a consensus around the Council horseshoe, to pass a motion that had all the appearances of seriously acting on climate change, it was Ward 3 Councillor Nrinder Nann's turn to push the file forward.
Whereas Mayor Fred Eisenberger was concerned about amendments pushing for action were risking dividing Council and preventing an unanimous vote, Nann called the political bluffing. After two hours of debate, Nann put the motion on the floor to declare a Climate Change Emergency "Let's just take the political will and courage right now, declare the emergency and move forward with the plan of action".
Thus, Council voted 10-0 to act. #yhmcc #HamOnt @ Hamilton City Hall ... See more

Keep your eyes on the Green team legislation!

Yesterday, the #ParisGaltMoraine Conservation Act received all party support and passed second reading in the legislature!

Mike Schreiner has taken a giant step towards protecting the Paris Galt Moraine. He has worked for months to write the legislation, consulting with water experts, First Nations, municipalities, farmers and MPPs from all parties. While votes often fall along partisan lines, yesterday was different, with unanimous support from all parties. Water protectors everywhere are celebrating.

But we can't just sit back and wait. Wherever you live in Ontario, please Call Your MPP and let them know you support Bill 71 and the protection of the Paris Galt Moraine. This bill could pave the way for similar protections for moraines across Ontario.

Thanks to all of you who took time out of your busy lives to let our elected officials know how important protecting our water is! #WaterForLifeNotProfit
