Collingwood third municipality in Canada to adopt a Pollinator Protection Plan
At its meeting held February 21, 2024, Council adopted the Town’s Pollinator Protection Plan making Collingwood the third municipality in Canada to have one.
The Plan defines guiding principles and explicit actions that the Town can take to protect pollinators in the area. Pollinators include many diverse insect and animal groups, including bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and more, and they play a critical role in pollinating our crops and wild flowering plants. The Plan is also an important step to mitigate the equally important issue of biodiversity loss.
