We need to protect our wild spaces for all our wildlife and our children.

I've lived next door to these lands for 20 years.
If City Officials truly think that this is a good area for a business park, then they truly are doing our community a disservice.
But look around the community, and it's glaringly obvious who council is influenced by, developer money, not sensible growth.

We must keep our green space, the animals, the peace and tranquillity it brings. The green belt behind our house is why we moved here!

I support this petition because the natural landscapes in our city are quickly disappearing under the lobbying pressure of developers when their focus should be on urban development of the downtown core. I have seen first hand for twenty years the salmon, owls, frogs and wildlife that have called the Yennadon lands home and it would be heart breaking to see all that go under the shovel when it could be preserved as a sanctuary. Save the trees and while you're at it, save the natural beauty that is Maple Ridge. Thank you.

Too much development has been done without considering the future

Please don’t destroy this fragile ecosystem

We should not be building on land that is necessary for nature to thrive. Houses and condos can be built elsewhere but we will never replace natural environments once they are gone.

We must leave large green spaces for animal habitats. Humans cannot develop all spaces. We are not the only part of ecosystem

I’m young and i NEED to grow up with a planet, and developing that land would just mean more people in maple ridge, which we don’t need, and it’s extremely harmful to the wildlife

I believe in protecting our nature and wildlife

Shanna Johnston (Maple Ridge, 2020-11-26)

I’m signing because it’s the right thing to do.
When all is said and done what will it take for us to realize that we have only one chance to preserve these lands.

I am concerned about the wildlife and green space in Maple Ridge. The population increase in Maple a ridge is too high already. We don’t have the infrastructure to deal with more people.

We need to give the animals space ... they where here first

Peggy Demarco (Maple ridge, 2020-11-28)

Please leave these beautiful creatures alone and let them have a place to exist!

I worry for the future of my children and my children’s children! If we don’t do something now to stop climate change there will be nothing left to save. This is a very real problem and the days of doing nothing are over. We must all act and do what we can to save this planet! Stopping development at Yennedon is just a start, but it will make a difference. Animals deserve their natural habitat and a chance to survive in it. We develop these areas and then get upset when wildlife invade our homes, they are always the ones who lose. When will people realize that we NEED these untouched, undeveloped areas so WE can survive!! If not for the animals (who deserve our protection) then isn’t it worth doing for us? Wake up people!!!

I am in favour of any lands being protected to ensure wild fauna and flora and animals have a habitat. This area is unique between the two rivers and its historical area is of benefit to all of maple ridge

As a teacher and author, I moved to Maple Ridge six years ago because I believed this to be a community that cares for wildlife, trees, and nature. I do still find this to be true - the people do care, as this petition demonstrates - but City Council has made it seem as if nobody cares at all. Yennadon lands are NOT empty - they are already inhabitanted by bears, deer, owls, eagles, hawks, fish, bees and other wildlife. By developing this land, you are taking away their homes, and that isn't right. Already the bears have little to eat because we have taken away so much of their habitat, and then they get shot because they come looking for food. This is a crime. It is the city's responsibility to CARE for our wildlife and wild areas, and to HELP them thrive, not take them away and turn them into an industrial wasteland.

I live in Yennadon area and see how abundant the wildlife is as well how delicate the ecosystem is that needs protection.

Justin Endresen (Maple Ridge, 2020-12-01)

I not only care about the green space and animals but I also care that our poor community has no more room on these congested roads. Please save our Yenenadon meadows from development.

Preserving wildlife is more important

Our poor wildlife in this are in trouble . I look at our expansion on 240 th and see how hard the bears are trying to live in an area that was once their habitat and a beautiful one at that ☹️

We already have enough housing being built here

Anna Gagnon (Maple Ridge, 2020-12-06)

#257

I value the natural environment found in Maple Ridge and urge the city to consider reserving this land as a sanctuary given the mass development that is already occurring throughout the city.

Payton Bayly (Maple Ridge, 2020-12-06)

I am signing because i am so sick of seeing many areas logged and built up with more unaffordable housing and animals being destroyed because humans are greedy. Leave this beautiful ecosystem alone and let the animals have homes !!!!

Tonya Simpkin (Maple Ridge, 2020-12-06)

#263

I agree that there is too much building being put up in our animals homes. Enough already.

Wildlife has a right to live, we need to stop developing the last refuges they jave

I love the area of Maple Ridge

I grew up in Maple Ridge and each year it’s beauty is taken away by development. Please keep this green space for the animals and wildlife that thrive in this habitat. I went to school at Yennadon and was so lucky to be surrounded by nature. Don’t let it be destroyed..save some land for those who were here first.

Jenna Cleary (Mission, 2020-12-06)

I'm sick of conservation officers having kill wildlife

Tammy French (Maple Ridge, 2020-12-06)

I grew up in Maple Ridge and did my first few years of school at Yennadon elementary. This area is close to my heart and extremely important in maintaining a healthy ecosystem in Maple Ridge.

Savanna Ross (Pemberton, 2020-12-06)

These animals need their homes and we need the green space. The only thing left of this junkie owned city is the beautiful nature of some areas still. This being one of them.

Carrie Crocker (Maple Ridge, 2020-12-06)

Please use density in the already populated areas. Stop cutting down our green spaces and destroying wildlife.

Sarah Thorn (Maple Ridge, 2020-12-06)

#289

I want to see green space and wild animals thriving

Holly Franklin (Maple ridge, 2020-12-06)

We must respect the lives and habitat of the animals who share this planet with us. Preservation of wildlands and green spaces are important for the us as well as the animals who live there.

Maple Ridge is a beautiful place we live in, but over these past few years its slowly becoming another concrete jungle.

We need to preserve the very few areas where nature thrives in this city. There's other places for industry.

Tanya Jonasson (Maple Ridge, 2021-05-01)

I have grave concerns about these changes to what has been a very rural area for years.

Susan VanBalkom (MAPLE RIDGE, 2021-05-19)

I’m signing because it’s our responsibility as community members and nature advocates to ensure the natural landscape in our neighbourhood is maintained. Irresponsible development has to stop.

Andrew gluck (Maple ridge, 2021-05-22)

#306

I’m signing because city council hasn’t properly assessed the environmental impact on wildlife in this important corridor, and is ignoring how important this untouched area is to local residents. Build your concrete employment centre somewhere else, along Lougheed.

Cher Thorsen (Maple Ridge, 2022-05-18)

#308

I oppose this development in this area as it does not make sense for the community. I am not opposed to development or further services but have a review of other optional areas and early involvement with the communities.
