Each of us in civil society has an obligation to speak up on important issues. 
If we fail to do so, not only do we fail in our civic responsibility, but we are condemned to live with the decisions made by those in authority, no matter the consequences.

Former mayor, Wayne Redekop

Unless the province appeals the amendments to Fort Erie’s and the Niagara Region’s Official Plan in the next few weeks to the OMB, the first casualities of the wreckage of the motorway will be good planning in Ontario.

There needs to be a strong demand for such an appeal made to members of the Legislature throughout our region.
