REQUEST
Please email the federal Minister of Environment and Climate Change at [email protected] , preferably with a cc to your MP and your MLA.
Here’s a possible version. Your own words are even better:
The Honourable Jonathan Wilkinson,
Our migratory birds need your help. The Migratory Birds Convention Act says it is illegal to destroy birds or their nests during breeding season but the law isn’t being enforced. We need a silent season in all our forests during breeding season. That means no logging operations (including the building of logging roads) from the beginning of May to the end of July. The dates may vary across the country but the principle is the same. Please help birds like the Canada Warbler shelter in place safely while they nest and raise their babies in our forests.
Yours sincerely,
(Your name and province)
