The Greenbelt is protected for a reason, it is home to a number of endangered species found no were else. It contains the headwaters for the city of Toronto. And in this time of climate crisis it is needed. There is very little green space left, and there is also a need to protect farmland. Everyone is trying to buy local food, if farmland is lost we’re will be purchasing such food.
Also using the green belt for homes is ridiculous, study after study has shown there is no need for housing on the Greenbelt, studies say there is enough areas in Toronto to keep the housing needs required for the next 15 years. Do not let this happen, once it is gone it can’t be replaced.
