MP @TerryDuguid and I were thrilled to meet with the @GLIERUWINDSOR Healthy Headwaters Lab team — discussing key ongoing initiatives to protect our Great Lakes. Our $76 million Great Lakes protection investment will support over 50 partner-led projects! Keep up the great work.

We must do everything possible to protect our Great Lakes — and our Liberal government is stepping up. Proud to join MP @TerryDuguid right here in #WindsorEssex to announce $76 million in federal dollars for 50 partner-led projects to help keep our Great Lakes clean 🌊

At Nature on the Hill, we joined @naturecanada to advocate for a national biodiversity strategy—and we got it! As #COP16 approaches, we must work for even stronger legislation to protect nature for the future: https://t.co/aVedSAYVo0

The collapse of a steel mill project during the Great Depression preserved natural lands linked to First Nations people in Windsor, Ontario.

Thrilled to see completion of the pedestrian crosswalk at Ojibway Nature Centre between Matchett & Titcombe Rd! Important for pedestrian safety & hopefully indirectly wildlife. Thanks @OjibwayPrairie, @CityWindsorON Transportation, @WPCWild911 Ojibway Team & Councillor Francis.

Read my op-ed written with @kl_walters & @AkaashMaharaj Canada can show leadership at #COP16 on biodiversity in Colombia this fall. The recently tabled Nature Accountability Act is a good start to achieve our nature and biodiversity protection goals. https://t.co/G3W7BmiF7K
Opinion: Canada has a chance to lead on the world stage with an improved Nature Accountability Act, write ISG Senator Rosa Galvez, Kristen Walters, & Akaash Maharaj. #cdnpoli @SenRosaGalvez

Great to see anticipation for the crosswalk and traffic calming efforts near @OjibwayPrairie. This will make the area safer for pedestrians and hopefully provide some help with reducing road mortality for wildlife as well. @FOOPOjibway @WPCWild911 @CityWindsorON @UWCities

Looking forward to this. Between recent traffic calming measures, progression of Matchett multi-use trail, crosswalk and other projects there is a real opportunity to reimagine this stretch to make it more pedestrian and wildlife friendly. @FOOPOjibway @OjibwayPrairie @UWCities
Finishing touches are being put on a new pedestrian crosswalk near the Ojibway Nature Centre on Matchett Road.
