On November 18, 2022 Environmental Defence held a rally outside Premier Doug
Ford's constituency office as part of a province-wide day of action to protest Bill 23. A
number of York South-Weston community groups and STOP members took part in
the event along with concerned residents and other local groups including
representatives from Ontario Nature and Canadian Association of Physicians for the
Environment.
About Bill 23:
On October 25th, the Government of Ontario tabled Bill 23, the More Homes Built
Faster Act, 2022, an omnibus bill proposing sweeping changes to the province’s
natural heritage and land use planning legislation and policy. Overall, Bill 23 and
associated policies remove and weaken environmental protections and diminish the
role of Ontarians in land use planning and decision-making.
