Trumpeter swans were brought back from the brink of extinction in the early 80s. Their story inspires us to stay strong.
We should feel so lucky that Trumpeter swans choose to live in our community, and fiercely protect their habitat to prevent almost losing them again.
"Wildhood" heroes
Legacy Donors
When you were a child, do you remember the world of discovery in nature?
We choose to live in this area for a reason. Let's keep their childhood wild, the way it was for us.
What's important is that children have an opportunity to bond with the natural world, to learn to love it and feel comfortable in it, before being asked to heal its wounds.

Wetland health saviours
Total tally: $15,729
Anonymous donations are represented by the wetland. Wetlands are delicate ecosystems necessary for erosion control, carbon storage, nutrient cycling and groundwater recharge. They also provide habitat for specialized wildlife communities.
Healthy wetlands = healthy people
We have already lost 75% of the wetlands in Ontario, south of the Canadian Shield. Given their value for water purification, flood control, and species at risk habitat, it is critical that we protect them.

McKayla and Juliana Hardman
In the early 1980s, the Bromley family pioneered the quarry fight. We are so grateful for their help with sharing their information and experience, and raising awareness and funds. On top of their previous generous donations, they most recently donated the proceedings of their garage sale to RLA's legal fund.

On top of their previous generous donations, they most recently donated the proceedings of their garage sale to RLA's legal fund.
This founding family should be so proud of everything they have done to ensure their children's and grandchildren's enjoyment of this beautiful spot for generations to come.

Sparkle alert! Juliana and McKayla bought beads from the Bromley's garage sale in support of RLA, and came up with a great idea: they got straight to work, and made beautiful blingy jewellery for passing neighbours, with all money raised going toward the quarry fight.
These superstars are of another founding family who remember life before the quarry, and have witnessed it growing incrementally and unacceptably bigger with each generation.

Paavo comes from a long line of environmentalists, who decided to put down roots in this area for the biodiversity-rich natural surroundings - not for the quarry.
