Stop sacrificing environmental protections for “growth”. Climate change is real. Opening the Greenbelt for further development is a horrible plan, and it is not a smart solution to address housing problems in the GTA. It primarily serves to benefit the developers. We need to keep our green spaces intact to protect our wetlands, forests, farmlands, clean water, wildlife, human health, and the nature that surrounds the GTA. With the proposed changes, developers stand to win while Ontario’s green spaces are destroyed.

The experts have been saying for years that solution to the housing shortage involves concentrating developments within city limits in dense, transit-friendly communities without paving over the natural spaces around them and locking in further sprawling, car-centric development.

Please DO NOT touch the Greenbelt! We need it kept intact and thriving for humans, plants and animals to keep surviving.
