Ontario is a HUGE province. There are many ways to create enough housing all of the people who need it - without paying over wetlands and other greenbelt areas that are essential to ecosystems and animal habitats.

I am truly shocked that in this critical time of climate change, the Ontario government would try to destroy important wetlands, prime farm land, and other important areas. Once this land is paved over, it is gone forever!

Instead, look to areas like Halton and Hamilton, which are proposing ways to stop sprawl and to build more housing. Stop approving giant homes and instead look towards multi-units in a property, more townhouses and buildings. Look to the factory and manufacturer sited that take up a ridiculous amount of land when they could be built upwards instead of sprawl over huge swaths of land.

Think of our beautiful Ontario, for us now and for future generations. Do we want to pass on a province that is filled with cement and asphalt or one that has trails, wetlands filled with wildlife, and beautiful fields of trees and animals?
Ontario is Yours to Discover only as long as there is greenbelt land and nature to discover.
