The provincial government has recently released their Made-in-Ontario Environment Plan, “Preserving and Protecting our Environment for Future Generations.”

The plan is separated into the following sections:

  • Our Province Today
  • Protecting our Air, Lakes and Rivers
  • Addressing Climate Change
  • Reducing Litter and Waste in Our Communities & Keeping Our Land and Soil Clean
  • Conserving Land and Greenspace
  • Next Steps

The Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks, Rod Phillips, shares in the Minister’s Message:

“We have consulted extensively with the public, receiving more than 8,000 ideas and recommendations through our online portal. These comments have been considered alongside submissions from stakeholders and information from Indigenous communities who provided feedback on fighting climate change and other areas of environmental focus. We will continue to consult and engage on the proposals contained within this plan in the coming weeks and months.”

Have thoughts on the plan? Stay engaged. The plan will be reviewed on a four-year basis.

You can visit the Environmental Registry of Ontario to share your feedback on the plan now. This consultation closes at 11:59 p.m. on January 28, 2019.
