Petition about highway’s effects on Lake Simcoe read in House of Commons – Orillia Matters

Petition calls on feds ‘to use their powers to reduce the impacts of the highway on Lake Simcoe’s fish’

On Oct. 22, MP Leah Taylor Roy read a petition in the House of Commons to raise awareness about federal responsibilities related to the Bradford Bypass.

The petition originated with the Rescue Lake Simcoe Coalition, a local organization that is raising awareness about the impacts of the bypass, a 16-kilometre highway planned north of Bradford, straddling York Region and Simcoe County’s south end, and highways 400 and 404.

The petition and its signers ask Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) and the Ministry of the Environment and Climate Change to use their powers to reduce the impacts of the highway on Lake Simcoe’s fish.
