--Petition to the Government of Ontario-- --25 signatures are needed-
Borc also referred to as Burrlington Outdoor Resource Centre. Is a York Region School Board owned property dedicated to teaching children from grade 3-7 about the wild. Borc is the oldest YRDSB owned building, which is over 150 years old.Recently the Goverment of Ontario has released plans to expand Hwy 427, right into Borc. Removing Borc will remove a historical building that was built 150 years ago. Not to mention future generations will miss out on the once in a live time expernience. At Borc students learn how to work efficiently as a team and learn numerous survival skills such as using maps efficiently, compass's and identifying land marks to keep track of location. With this historical, and educational building Borcs removal will drastically impact students across the York Region School board and will remove a major part of Canadian History ! So please join me and sign this Petition to keep Borc!

The government is still ignoring us and pretending that paving over our history is progress. I have been pushing the school board to grow a spine and fight for this property instead of just handing it over to the bulldozers.

The students of Ontario are in great need of historical sites such as BORC. We can't just tear it down and bury it under a highway. BORC is important for not only the environment but also for those who will and have visited it. It is horrible to take this awesome privilege away from our future generations.
The Burlington outdoor resource centre is an incredibly historic site. The original owner of the land founded Woodbridge. You can't just tear down such an amazing site. Plus it is home to tons of wild life
This is the best resource centre ever! I love it sooooo much. I had visited this area for a field trip, and I loved it so much
I went to BORC a long time ago but still remember the trip as one of the highlights of our year!
Loved it as a kid. Very important for nature deficit.
Lot of great memories from school trips.
Really don't need more traffic

I would hate to see this go, I have such fond memories of BORC and as a future teacher I would want my students to experience this as well!
