1. Proposed Changes: Changes to the Greenbelt Plan
Potential City Impacts:
- Removing land from the Greenbelt could have environmental consequences both inside and outside of Mississauga.
- Environment impacts could be compounded by a reduced role of Conservation Authorities.
Comments to the Province:
- There are no guarantees that removing some lands from the Greenbelt while adding others will have equal environmental value and ecological function.
- City staff are supportive of adding urban river valleys to the Greenbelt and already protect these lands.
- It is submitted that only lands be added to the Greenbelt and staff are not supportive of removing lands.
