Parks Canada wants to create a national urban park in Windsor, centred on the Ojibway Prairie Complex. This rare tallgrass prairie ecosystem would become part of a new network of urban parks across Canada. The City of Windsor is working with Parks...
Why This Matters: Live in Windsor or LaSalle? This could transform how you access nature in your backyard.

Why This Matters: Live in Port Credit or nearby? These parks will be your new backyard. The 72-acre Brightwater development is also bringing nearly 3,000 new homes to the area. How the parks are designed will shape whether this feels like a livable neighbourhood or just another condo cluster.

Health Canada is asking whether new guidance is needed for asbestos in drinking water. The draft says there's no convincing evidence that swallowing asbestos causes health problems—unlike breathing it. Still, many older water pipes contain...
Why This Matters: Ever wonder what's in your tap water? Many Canadian communities still have aging asbestos-cement pipes underground. While breathing asbestos is dangerous, the science on drinking it is less clear. This guidance could affect how your municipality monitors and replaces old pipes.

Why This Matters: Ever been asked to join a clinical trial but couldn't because the research centre was too far away? This could change that. Decentralized trials let patients participate from home or nearby clinics. If you live in a rural or remote area, this could mean access to cutting-edge treatments without...

The government wants to add a chemical called MSP (phenol, methylstyrenated) to Canada's toxic substances list. MSP is used in paints and coatings for ships and large equipment. Studies show it can harm aquatic life and doesn't break down easily in...
Why This Matters: This chemical ends up in waterways when ships are painted or maintained. If you fish, swim, or get drinking water from lakes and rivers, you have a stake in how toxic substances are managed. Adding MSP to the toxic list would trigger stricter controls on how it's used and disposed of.

Canada and Thailand want to negotiate a free trade deal. The government is asking Canadians what they think before talks begin. Thailand is already Canada's second-largest trading partner in Southeast Asia, with $6.37 billion in trade last year.
Why This Matters: Trade deals affect prices at the store and jobs in your community. More Thai imports could mean cheaper electronics and food. Canadian exporters could gain easier access to 70 million Thai consumers. Small businesses and underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to weigh in.
