Environmental groups warn of possible influx of development in Ontario January 14, 2021 WATERLOO REGION- “Did Doug Ford get bitten by a turtle as a child?” This was one of the dozens of comments continually rolling during Environmental Defence’s online webinar with Ontario Nature, the Canadian Environmental Law Association and David Crombie, the former chair of the Greenbelt Council who resigned over the changes to the Conservation Authority Act at the end of last year. The event was livestreamed this week and held to inform the public about the current state of Ontario’s environmental protections, what can be expected going forward and what citizens can do to protect their own local greenspaces.
