Backyard chickens have many benefits, including: being a productive use of available land, bringing your food source as local as possible, reducing your family's dependence on industrial agriculture, reducing the need for energy-intensive industrial agriculture, controlling the quality and source of your food, reintegrating with nature, reconnecting children with their food sources, encouraging permaculture, and community resilience to the fluctuation and instability of food prices.

Allowing backyard chickens is a step in the right direction; it is sustainable, progressive and allows us to participate in a positive way in an every changing world.

Cities nearby that currently support backyard chickens: Guelph, Brampton, London, Brantford, Quinte West, and Niagara Falls.

Other Canadian cities supporting backyard chickens: Surrey, Victoria, Montreal, Vancouver, and Whitehorse.

Let's build a better community and support backyard chickens!

*If you are a Cambridge resident and can include your area (Galt, Hespeler, Preston) in the comments that would be great! Please forward to any family or friends who would be interested in supporting this cause.
