Protecting the rural landscape.
Urban sprawl and industrial development threaten our rural community.
Help Protect Puslinch is a resident-led community group committed to ensuring responsible growth and development in our township and beyond.
We advocate for planning decisions that protect the rural character of our community, lands, and the environment while supporting appropriate development in designated areas.

Help us continue the fight
Our small neighbourhood group has recently sought reinforcements to support our concerns. Help Protect Puslinch has retained Donnelly Law. They are a firm that specializes in working with citizen groups on land use planning matters and have been very successful on similar applications in our area.
We are also working with Small Change Fund to support building funds to pay for the lawyer fees. Small Change Fund is a registered charity where grassroots groups can get crowdfunding help and coaching support.
“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.”
