Your Voice Is Powerful – Help Protect Butternut Creek!

The appeal to the Ontario Land Tribunal by the owner of 630 Gore Road means speaking up for the Creek and adjacent forest is even more important. Please consider making a donation to our funding partner Small Change Fund for the ecological work, signing the petition and contacting your elected representatives. Also, please consider writing to City Planners ahead of the Planning Committee meeting on November 5th, 2026 regarding the recent rezoning and plan of subdivision application: D35-004-2026. Butternut Creek and the surrounding natural spaces are vital. You can help protect the green spaces we all cherish.

Help Give Nature a Voice – Donate today!

We hired an ecologist and worked with our partner Small Change Fund to launch our project,  Protecting Butternut Creek for Today and for Future Generations. 
 

  • Understanding more about the Creek and the adjacent lands is now urgent.
