If the Legislative Assembly of Ontario refuses to act, we will lose a unique sanctuary for the disabled. Wilderness Discovery Resort For The Disabled, near Thunder Bay, needs to be designated as protected land before summer recess.

If the Legislative Assembly of Ontario refuses to act, we will lose a unique sanctuary for the disabled.

Wilderness Discovery Resort For The Disabled, near Thunder Bay, needs to be designated as protected land before summer recess. If not, the land must be sold by law and might be sold privately to the rich.

We need a place in the wilderness for disabled children, veterans, seniors, and their families and caregivers. If we lose this unique camp, it will be closed, bulldozed and gone forever.

Contact your MPP immediately. Summer recess is imminent. If they don’t protect this land to allow reasonable time to find new stewardship, Ontario and all of Canada will abandon them. Get more info on Facebook at “Save Wilderness Discovery Resort For The Disabled” and find a list of contacts for your representative. Act right away!

As we approach the 10th anniversary of the AODA, we thank you for caring about our disability community.
