The Centre Wellington Citizens Coalition (CWCC) is a grassroots group of citizenry seeking to protect the environment and liveability of the Centre Wellington region from the Greater Toronto Area's encroaching urban sprawl. The group received national Canadian television coverage in 2002 when it was sued by its own township government, for resisting the imposition of a large provincial gambling development.
