Thank Premier Dalton McGuinty for Protecting Ontario's Boreal Forest!

Click to send Premier McGuinty a Thank You Message Today!Dear {FIRST_NAME|Reader},

As you know, this week Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty announced a landmark commitment to protect 225,000 square kilometers – 55 million acres – of Boreal Forest in the northern area of the province.

This move will protect the habitat for as many as 300 million Boreal birds.

McGuinty's pledge is exactly what we have consistently advocated to Canadian government leaders.

Please thank Premier McGuinty for his bold move. We've included sample text below that you can paste into Premier McGuinty's online feedback form:


SAMPLE THANK YOU MESSAGE:

Dear Premier McGuinty and Fellow Ontario Government Staff Members,

Thank you for your pledge to protect Ontario's Boreal Forest, reform Ontario's Mining Act, implement land use planning, and accommodate First Nations' interests.

I recognize Canada's Boreal Forest as habitat to billions of migratory birds; a refuge for some of the world's largest herds of caribou, grizzlies, and wolves; a vital Aboriginal home land; and an important carbon sink that helps mitigate the effects of global warming.

It is inspiring to see a Canadian leader with the foresight and conviction to protect this vast and unique natural resource. I look forward to witnessing the implementation of your government's commitment.

Sincerely,
{FIRST_NAME|Your} {LAST_NAME|Name}
