We Demand Ontario Protect Our Freshwater — Suspend New or Renewed Water-Taking Permits!

The Province is continues to approve for-profit water-taking permits without adequate safeguards in place ⚠️

Even as communities, scientists, and organizations raise concerns about a lack of water-use data transparency, and cumulative impact assessment, the Province keeps approving high-volume, high-risk withdrawals.

💧Water is a public trust, not a commodity. The current Provincial approach fails to ensure that essential uses are protected or that water allocation decisions are transparent and evidence-based.

🔊Join us in calling on the Province to suspend new or renewed water-taking permits until the system can reliably safeguard essential water uses, public health, and ecological integrity.
