Food and Water First: Call to Action

Email from NDACT February 28 2013

Now that our MPPs are back to work at Queen’s Park, it’s time to press them for a Food and Water First policy.

The fight to stop the Highland mega quarry shone a spotlight on the lack of protection for Ontario’s prime farmland and source water regions under the Aggregate Resources Act. The review of the ARA has been stuck in limbo since last summer and has yet to resume.

As well, the Liberals have said they plan to re-introduce a Local Food Act which we believe should contain protection for the farmland and water that sustain our local food and thriving agri-food sector. 

We have composed a  template letter addressed to Premier Kathleen Wynne and 10 members of her cabinet. Please feel free to add your own thoughts, experiences and expertise.

Let’s keep the momentum going and ask our elected representatives, to follow through
