This election will decide the future of municipal planning and environmental policy in our region – shaping the choices that will define our communities for decades to come. 

Councillors make important decisions that impact our communities every day, and we need to return candidates who support responsible development and sustainable solutions for South Georgian Bay. Make sure to have your say on October 24, 2022!

There are early and online voting options, and if you rent or own in more than one municipality you can vote in both – so check to confirm you are on the voter’s list! Click the logos below to check your municipality’s website for full details and to ensure you are on the voter’s list.

ECA Candidate Outreach

ECA has reached out to all candidates in The Blue Mountains, Grey Highlands, Collingwood, and Clearview to gauge their support for our mission. We asked them to make a simple pledge.

If elected, would they commit to prioritizing:

  1. The protection and conservation of our natural areas
  2. Only responsible development for the region

These two overarching principles, which guide ECA’s work, were supported by 7 specific, meaningful, and actionable policies.
