Hello everyone
New Years Eve is always a good time to reflect on the past year and look forward to the next year.

It's not too late to treat someone you know or yourself to our unique guide to the Birds of Waverly Woods. 60 colour photos. Only $13.

In the New Year we will be explaining more about why Community Voices of Fort Erie has an appeal with the provincial government about the proposed development on this site. We will also be introducing our experts who will be providing factual information at the Hearing coming up in April and May 2022.
You can help by volunteering any profession services, informing others and asking them to sign the petition or donating.
We wish you all a very Happy New Year!
