   Big news for bees and butterflies!   
      
      
   Ontario leads North America in protecting pollinators.   
      
   Yesterday, thanks to a growing movement of concerned citizens like you, Ontario   
   announced a bold plan for regulations to restrict neonicotinoid pesticides (AKA   
   “neonics”). It’s the first of its kind in North America.   
      
   The provincial government considered the growing body of evidence that neonics   
   are harmful and is proposing tough action to protect pollinators — setting a   
   target to reduce use of these chemicals by 80 per cent!   
      
   The plan is to move millions of acres of Ontario corn and soy fields off of   
   neonics. New regulations will be in place in time for the 2016 planting season.   
      
   This is big news, but there’s a still a lot of work to do. Please tell other   
   provinces and the federal government to take immediate action to ban neonics.   
      
   But for now… let's celebrate the news! Together, we’re helping turn the   
   tide on   
   neonics.   
      
   Thanks for your support.

   P.S. Ontario’s new regulations are just the beginning… Let’s ban neonics   
   everywhere in Canada! And share this news with your friends!
