Every existing wetland is home to a plethora of living beings: frogs; crayfish; turtles; fish; dragonfly, mayfly and giant water bug nymphs; snakes; birds; water striders; cat tails; water lilies; water hyacinths, and many other plants and animals. Each wetland has developed and evolved over dozens, if not hundreds, of years, and may be fed and drained by creeks and streams. Bulldozing Duffins Creek would mean death to all of its inhabitants. Trying to create another wetland elsewhere would be like trying to play Mother Nature. Wetlands help protect us from water pollution by cleaning the water we drink, helping prevent flooding, and protecting us from drought and climate change, by reducing greenhouse gasses. If this preposterous project goes ahead, it will be another blight on Doug Ford’s legacy and a crime against nature and humanity, as the citizens and living creatures of Ontario will be deprived of yet another wetland. Please save the Duffins Creek Wetland. Mara Glebovs, Etobicoke. Show all posts
