The greenbelt provides essential greenspace for many people in the GTA who do not otherwise have access to greenspace. I believe instead of focusing on urban sprawl, we need to focus on more efficient density. Especially with the increased risks that we will see from climate change, having this greenspace is important. The greenbelt provides essential ecosystem services such as a space for wildlife in the GTA, cooling effect on surrounding areas (which is important as temperatures climb due to climate change), and by destroying the greenbelt we will be actively deteriorating our air quality and water quality. I STRONGLY oppose this plan.
