An extensive consultation process will form an important part of the process that will encompass local communities, governments and authorities, Indigenous communities, Georgian Bay organizations, NGOs, and more.

Some concrete examples of the project’s objectives are:

• Expand the conservation of natural and environmentally valuable areas and improve the protection of these areas with stronger and more consistent policies. • Establish a consistent regional framework for development and environmental protection. • Strengthen planning standards in municipal official plans and zoning by-laws. Coastal protection is at the heart of GBA’s mandate and the Vision 2050 project fills a recognized gap in Ontario’s planning framework. The proposed position paper will be the catalyst for bringing stakeholders together to ensure the protection of Georgian Bay for generations to come.

Get Involved You can help protect Georgian Bay for future generations by:

• Spreading awareness and knowledge of the Vision 2050 project in your local member association and Georgian Bay community. • Contributing ideas to your local member association or GBA on better protecting our coastal region while meeting the needs of local communities, residents, Indigenous groups, and visitors. • Volunteering time and expertise to help bring the project to fruition.
