In General what you can do

Letters to:

• Local Municipal government,
• Provincial government,
• Federal Government,
• Government agencies and ministries
• The company or business of concern The editor of your local newspapers, magazines, local media, and other newspapers that circulate
• Larger organizations, such as Nature Canada, Nature Conservancy Canada, etc.

Lobby:

• Educate and inform your community and government of your concerns.
• Present your concerns to local municipal government, provincial MPP, federal MP.
• Engage local organizations who have similar interest in preserving/protecting the area.
• Focus on the positive, use the momentum of where you want to go rather than making it into a fight. Avoid words like: war against, battle, fight, don’t want.
• Have a better alternative, ask for what you want, not what you don’t want.

Lots of people may be negative, and think "it can’t be done” but remember,

Obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off the goal.
