It is our legacy. Ontario's natural resources are vital to the environmental health of our planet. Ontario's Living Legacy is a strategy for ensuring the long-term health of our natural resources Ontario's Living Legacy includes the biggest expansion of the parks and protected areas system in Ontario's history. Living Legacy will also strengthen the forest and mining industries, and enhance tourism and recreation in northern Ontario to improve the economic health of northern communities. |

Ontario's Living Legacy results from an unprecedented consultation process. Three citizen Round Tables did an outstanding job of stimulating public discussion about the best use and protection for our natural resources. Thousands of Ontarians provided valuable input. That input and the recommendations of the Round Tables provided the foundation for Ontario's Living. |
