Facts The marsh is mostly used for Market Farming Without human impact, the Holland marsh would have little fertility Crops reflect the waves of immigration into Canada Now is mostly corporately owned Also known as “Ontario’s salad bowl”

The Holland Marsh generates hundreds of millions of dollars worth of vegetables annually

Contains 34 types of vegetables over 7,300 hectares of land

Plans for a new power plant

Consequences This new gas-fire generator would be very inefficient Could leak out chemicals Might destroy the marsh

The Solution Stop the plant from being built
