- Reposted by Wildlands LeagueLast year, Ontario gutted endangered species protections. Now Wasaga Beach — the province’s most important Piping Plover nesting site — is at risk from raking and development. Ecojustice, Environmental Defence & Ontario Nature are calling on the federal Minister to act. bit.ly/4t69Gec

- Reposted by Wildlands LeagueOntario received 14,233 comments on its plan to drop protections on a portion of Wasaga Beach Provincial Park, transferring management to the municipality. The plan is moving ahead unchanged, despite 98 per cent of those comments being in opposition. thenarwhal.ca/wasaga-beach...

- Guelph, you really showed up yesterday—proving that not even a snowstorm can stop this community from standing up for nature. Thank you. 💚 This event was a powerful reminder of how much Guelph’s natural heritage system & natural areas mean to the community & why they must be protected forever.

- 📬💌 Incoming postcard! Guelph’s environmental leadership, rich habitat, strong local groups & opportunities for First Nation reconciliation make it an ideal candidate for a National Urban Park. We’re kicking off 2026 with a community event in late January. More soon! 👀
- From the shores of Wasaga Beach, our sixth holiday postcard has just washed ashore! 💌 🏖️ This ecologically critical stretch of shoreline—known as Ploverland—is at risk of being sold off to the Town of Wasaga Beach, opening the door to a major Marriott hotel development.
- "...Using images from protected parks and foreign locations to promote mining distorts reality and misleads the public about the environmental and industrial impacts of development in the Ring of Fire," says Wildlands' Anna Baggio. Read more: buff.ly/FIXjulQ
- 📬 A new postcard just arrived & this one came from one of the world's most carbon-rich landscapes: the Hudson Bay Lowlands. In 2025, we supported Indigenous-led conservation, challenged misinformation at scale & helped keep the peatlands off the development fast track for now.
- Reposted by Wildlands LeagueAs a case led by nine First Nations challenging Ontario’s Bill 5 winds its way through the courts, two grassroots organizers from Attawapiskat want to bring in their perspectives on the Breathing Lands — beyond the Ring of Fire: thenarwhal.ca/bill-5-lawsu...
- Special delivery from James Bay! Our latest campaign postcard just sailed in, bringing news from one of Canada’s most magical marine ecosystems. ✨ 🌊 In 2025, even though the world seemed to be shifting daily we kept ocean conservation on the front burner.
- 📬 Another postcard just arrived! This one travelled from Queen’s Park—where in 2025 thousands of YOU raised your voices against Bill 5. And we were right there with you. Just as we were in committee rooms, on the land & in the media standing up Ontario's wild places.
- You’ve got mail! Our first holiday postcard just arrived from Ontario’s North 💌 ❄️ From supporting KI & Wapekeka’s push to protect 3M hectares of their homeland, to calling out misleading Ring of Fire ads & promoting better mining alternatives, our work in the North kept us busy in 2025!
- The Crawford project represents the kind of critical minerals development Canada should be looking at—projects located in previously impacted areas, with community leadership and early Indigenous involvement. Read our full statement: wildlandsleague.org/news/stateme...

- “Trust is so important…when they engage in this kind of deliberately misleading ads, it really breaks trust.” Read more on how the Ontario’s ads misrepresent the Ring of Fire, and what it means for trust, transparency, and northern communities: buff.ly/zQtdhHa
- The Ford government is promoting the Ring of Fire with everything except the Ring of Fire—using photos from Ontario’s beloved provincial parks (where mining is prohibited), Quebec, and even overseas — all to sell Canadians on the idea of mining in the Ring of Fire.

- 🌎 Next week is #GivingTuesday, but the best time to protect Ontario’s wild places? Right now: buff.ly/hyTTIte Bill 5 is stripping away environmental protections, the Ring of Fire is being fast-tracked without truth or transparency, and iconic parks across the province are under threat.

- Recently, the Ontario government blanketed the digital sphere, print, radio & TV, w/ ads for the "Ring of Fire”. They were everywhere, including during the Jays playoff run. We saw them too…so we decided to take a closer look 🔎 What we found surprised us. Dave Pearce, breaks it down here 👇

- Claim: The Ring of Fire is supplying minerals for lifesaving tech. Verdict: Misleading ⚠️ Development is years away (if it happens at all) with: ❌ No investment decisions ❌ No feasibility studies ❌ No proven economic case ❌ No consensus from Indigenous Nations 📸 T. Hesselink

- Are we being played? We’re launching a new fact-checking series on claims from Premier Ford and Ontario about the Ring of Fire. After weeks of ads everywhere, including during the Blue Jays playoff run, we figured it was time to take a closer look. 🔍 Stay tuned!

- Reposted by Wildlands LeagueThose Ring of Fire ads during World Series broadcasts might have you thinking mines are up and running in the remote region in northern Ontario, but that's not the case and the Ford government should be upfront about it, writes @elaineanselmi.bsky.social thenarwhal.ca/opinion-blue...
- While Ford uses his bully pulpit & taxpayers’ dollars to promote the Ring of Fire, grassroots leaders from Neskantaga, Attawapiskat & Marten Falls are showing there is another way—one rooted in truth, humility & care for the Earth. Show your support: buff.ly/qDvJg8f
- “We all survive on this river...It’s meant to be used, not to get destroyed,” says Chief Gary Quisses. As ON weakens environmental safeguards, leaders like Chief Quisses are reminding us what’s at stake—our shared responsibility to protect the land, water & future generations.
- It’s #Halloween, but the scariest thing in Ontario today isn’t the ghosts, ghouls or vampires...it’s Doug Ford’s #Bill5. 👻 👹 🧛🏻 While kids go door to door for treats, Premier Ford is opening the door to developers.
