The Fight For Farmland (B&W letters with a line drawing of a fist holding a stem of wheat, on a salmon-pink background)Fight For Farmland Group is asking for support at two particularly important rallies. It is important that the public turn out to show that Wilmot Township “Is NOT a Willing Host”. This is in response to Doug Ford’s comment that they would not force a mega industrial site on an unwilling host. If it’s appropriate, we encourage you to forward this invitation on to your individual group’s contact list.

Wilmot Township Community members will gather for the “We are NOT a Willing Host” protest to stand united against the Wilmot Land Assembly. This rally aims to send a clear and powerful message to the Township that the community is firmly against being designated as a willing host for the proposed development.

  • This is expected to be our biggest rally yet. We urge everyone in the community to join us and show our collective strength.
  • The event will feature a live performance by local artist Punkeydoodles Steve, who will perform his hit song “770 Acres.”
  • Attendees will have the opportunity to hear from local farmers and guest speakers who will share their perspectives on the proposed development.
  • We are gratefully accepting donated food items for the Wilmot Family Resource Centre. Your contributions will support local families in need.
  • Please bring your signs and banners to show that we are NOT willing hosts!

The first rally is being held outside the Wilmot Township Council Meeting at Castle Kilbride at 5:30pm on Monday 26 August 2024.
