Georgian Bay’s future depends on us

The wilderness of Georgian Bay is facing unprecedented pressure.

Just an hour and a half from North America’s fourth largest city, these wild lands are disappearing to make way for golf courses, condominiums, commercial centres, and private residences. Roadways and cleared land have cut the natural landscape into smaller and smaller patches of unprotected private land. And climate change is bringing more stress for Georgian Bay’s environments and ecosystems.

The loss of land eliminates critical habitat and migration corridors for countless unique species and sensitive wildlife — many now listed as threatened or endangered. And natural water systems are being compromised, resulting in falling water levels and reduced water quality.
