I\u2019m here today with my colleague, Mike Fisher, from our board of directors.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7409539\" data-originallang=\"en\"> The Friends of Ojibway Prairie is a volunteer registered charitable organization dedicated to promoting public awareness of the Ojibway Prairie complex and its unique biological, cultural and historical importance.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7409540\" data-originallang=\"en\"> We would like to thank the committee for providing us with the opportunity to talk to you about why the Ojibway Prairie complex is so important to our community and why it is imperative to ensure that the complex and surrounding natural areas are protected to the highest degree as a national urban park. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7409541\" data-originallang=\"en\">We also recognize its particular importance to indigenous communities, with the Ojibway Prairie complex sitting on the traditional territory of the Three Fires Confederacy of first nations, which includes the Ojibwa, the Odawa and the Potawatomi. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7409542\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Ojibway Prairie complex and surrounding lands are a special place, well worthy of the highest level of protection. The key features of the Ojibway Prairie complex are its tall grass prairie and oak savanna ecosystems. The tall grass prairie and oak savanna ecosystems are some of the most endangered ecosystems in Canada. Despite this, the Ojibway Prairie complex is the most concentrated site for rare species in Ontario.</p>",

Je suis accompagn\u00e9 aujourd'hui de mon coll\u00e8gue, Mike Fisher, membre de notre conseil d'administration.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7409539\" data-originallang=\"en\">The Friends of Ojibway Prairie est un organisme de bienfaisance b\u00e9n\u00e9vole enregistr\u00e9 qui se consacre \u00e0 la sensibilisation du public au complexe d'Ojibway Prairie et \u00e0 son importance biologique, culturelle et historique unique.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7409540\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous tenons \u00e0 remercier le Comit\u00e9 de nous donner l'occasion d'expliquer pourquoi le complexe d'Ojibway Prairie est si important pour notre collectivit\u00e9 et pourquoi il est imp\u00e9ratif de veiller \u00e0 ce complexe et les aires naturelles environnantes b\u00e9n\u00e9ficient du plus haut degr\u00e9 de protection possible en tant que parc urbain national.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7409541\" data-originallang=\"en\">Nous reconnaissons \u00e9galement son importance particuli\u00e8re pour les communaut\u00e9s autochtones, puisque le complexe d'Ojibway Prairie se trouve sur le territoire traditionnel de la Conf\u00e9d\u00e9ration des Trois Feux, qui comprend les Ojibway, les Odawas et les Potawatomis.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"7409542\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le complexe d'Ojibway Prairie et les terres environnantes sont un endroit sp\u00e9cial, bien digne du plus haut niveau de protection. Les principales caract\u00e9ristiques du complexe d'Ojibway Prairie sont ses \u00e9cosyst\u00e8mes de prairie \u00e0 herbes hautes et de savane de ch\u00eanes, qui sont parmi les \u00e9cosyst\u00e8mes les plus menac\u00e9s au Canada. Malgr\u00e9 cela, le complexe d'Ojibway Prairie est l'endroit o\u00f9 se trouvent le plus d'esp\u00e8ces rares en Ontario.</p>"
