We have a water issue in Waterloo Region & they've been taking more from Wilmot Township. Do you really want an industrial mega-site built on farmland when just 1 L of spilled chemical can contaminate 1,000,000 L of water? #FridayFact #FightForFarmland #wilmotlandgrab #WaterCrisis

WilmotCAN @wilmotcan.bsky.social · 09/09/2026

How do you feel about not having any input on an industrial mega-site being built in Wilmot on prime farmland? www.therecord.com/opinion/colu... #FightForFarmland #wilmotlandgrab

WilmotCAN @wilmotcan.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

In Wilmot, we want candidates who will: 🧻 Pull the Official Plan that the current @WilmotTownship Council approved for better farmland protections 📢 State that Wilmot Township is an unwilling host 🌊 Protect our water #WilmotLandGrab www.ctvnews.ca/kitchener/ar...

Shrouded by secrecy. Protected by security. We still haven't seen archaeological findings. They started digging almost 2 years ago. They tore down buildings. Without calling in anyone to reuse the materials. It leaves us wondering: What's the rush? #wilmotlandgrab

WilmotCAN @wilmotcan.bsky.social · 07/08/2026

We have 80 days until muncipal elections. Protect our community and vote for a Mayor and Council that will revoke the insufficient Wilmot Official Plan. #OfficialPlan #WilmotTownship #WilmotLandGrab

021

WilmotCAN @wilmotcan.bsky.social · 05/08/2026

Wilmot Township staff suggested that Council approve the latest #OfficialPlan because the Province would approve it more quickly, It seemed that was more important to many of the councillors and so they voted not to strengthen protections of our rural community. #wilmottownship

WilmotCAN @wilmotcan.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Green Party leader Mike Schreiner quoted by Observer, saying about the #wilmotlandgrab: “...some of the best farmland in all of Canada, expropriated for some industrial mega site that nobody knows any details about,” said Schreiner. Read more about his visit: www.observerxtra.com/green-party-...

Ask Council to delay the Official Plan until we get it right. This "final" draft appears to favour growth without adequate regard for environmental impacts or the financial burden placed on taxpayers. Sign up to delegate next Monday at 6:00 PM: forms.wilmot.ca/Clerks/Deleg... #wilmotlandgrab

In Wilmot, if you're on a well & see sudden drops in water pressure, sputtering taps, cloudy water, or sediment, report it to the Region (519-575-4400). Then email Citizens for Safe Groundwater at wilmotgroundwater@gmail.com so its independently tracked. #watercrisis

WilmotCAN @wilmotcan.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Waterloo faces a #watercrisis. Help make sure big industrial water users wait & sign to urge the province to block all new or expanded industrial and commercial water-taking permits until the Region solves this crisis. @environmentaldefence.ca act.environmentaldefence.ca/page/187241/...

WilmotCAN @wilmotcan.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

The Waterloo Region Home Builders’ Association said: “The homes are designed. The approvals are in place. The private money is committed. The only thing missing is water.” Maybe we have to rethink growth for @RegionWaterloo. www.therecord.com/news/waterlo... #watercrisis

In the Record's If I were mayor, Janet Redman of Independent Living Waterloo Region shared her thoughts on preserving our farmland. That's exactly what we would do too. www.therecord.com/news/municip... #fightforfarmland #wilmotlandgrab

There is still time for you to speak up about the Wilmot Official Plan. Read the draft and make sure that it reflects the community you want to live, work and play in. Not sure how to provide feedback? Reach out and we can help: wilmotcan@gmail.com #wilmottownship #OfficialPlan #FightForFarmland

WilmotCAN @wilmotcan.bsky.social · 12/06/2026

We need prime farmland to grow our food. We don't need pavement that will block incoming water for our groundwater. Learn more about how farmers in Alberta fought and won in the Maclean's article: macleans.ca/longforms/th... #FridayFact #FightForFarmland #WilmotLandGrab @macleans.bsky.social

The Wilmot Official Plan affects your future. Your community's future. Support your neighbours who are speaking about the plan on Thursday, there's a Draft Official Plan Public Meeting in Wilmot Council Chambers at 6 p.m. #OfficialPlan #wilmottownship

WilmotCAN @wilmotcan.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

The OP vision states: This growth will be carefully balanced w/ strong protections for farmland, water, & the natural environment, preserving what matters most for current & future generations. This Council could start by stating that Wilmot is an unwilling host. #FightForFarmland #OfficialPlan

WilmotCAN @wilmotcan.bsky.social · 17/05/2026

Did you read the draft Official Plan for Wilmot Township? It's especially important this year because elections are coming up. It's important for our community to vote for a council that will protect what's in the Official Plan. #OfficialPlan #wilmottownship #FightForFarmland

WilmotCAN @wilmotcan.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

Did you know: One of the principles of the Wilmot Official Plan draft is to promote the design of resilient and sustainable communities that respond to climate change and promote compact urban form to protect farmland. #FridayFact #FightForFarmland

WilmotCAN @wilmotcan.bsky.social · 13/05/2026

You can have your say about the draft official plan on May 21 in Council Chambers. The meeting starts at 6 p.m. #wilmottownship #FightForFarmland #OfficialPlan

Province keeps "helping" municipalities bring industry in & it fails. You know what was making money in Wilmot Township? 770 acres of prime farmland that they're helping buy for an unknown buyer that's nowhere to be found. toronto.citynews.ca/2026/05/06/h... #FightForFarmland #wilmotlandgrab

WilmotCAN @wilmotcan.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

As the Region of Waterloo continues to take more water from the Township of Wilmot, we're hearing of folks in our community with private wells w/ lowering levels & quality issues. If you have issues with your private well, you can demand Emergency Water from the Region. #FridayFact #watercrisis

WilmotCAN @wilmotcan.bsky.social · 08/05/2026

Mike Harris Jr. sent a letter to MPP Rob Flack to ask him to help with the Region of Waterloo's water crisis so that development could get moving. Why didn't the letter mention his constituents in Wilmot Township who are having issues with their private wells? #watercrisis #wilmottownship

WilmotCAN @wilmotcan.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

Last wk, Citizens for Safe Ground Water held an event for residents with private wells. They shared stories: - A bath tub full of orange sediment - Equipment ruined because of sediment - Alder Creek level is down If it happens to you, demand emergency water. #watercrisis #privatewell

"...critics point out that the region still has no confirmed end-user for the site. They suggest it could become another “Pickering Airport” — a massive tract of expropriated land that has sat empty for decades. farmersforum.com/waterloo-buy... #fightforfarmland #wilmotlandgrab

"FOI laws are one of the only ways journalists and the public can see how decisions are made, how money is spent and how power is exercised behind closed doors." But Doug Ford is actively working to shut down that access, even retroactively. #DeclineOfDemocracy #ONpoli

History is repeating itself. Former Mayor Shantz shares in McGuinty's Record article about how the City of Kitchener took water from Wilmot Township before. There's little respect for rural townships as they take our resources. www.therecord.com/news/waterlo... #watercrisis #wilmotlandgrab

1st Region of Waterloo came for our farmland. Now our water. Read Josh Piercey's article, then call & email your @WilmotTownship councillor & ask them to make a motion that Wilmot is an unwilling host. kitchener.citynews.ca/2026/04/09/r... #FightForFarmland #wilmotlandgrab #unwillinghost
