As a nature connection guide, I see first hand how natural spaces act as powerful healing tools for humans and ecosystems.

Once they're gone, they're gone. Keep your hands off!

Leave the green belt protected, undisturbed and natural! Stop sprawling into green areas.

Build up, not out. Build smarter and more sustainably - in the grey belt, in existing suburban and urban areas.

See article “Densification of cities as a method of sustainable development”.

Densify existing neighbourhoods to make them more pedestrian and bike friendly. Create walkable cities instead of car-dependent suburbs for the benefit of humans and the environment.

Increase the vacancy rate in the GTA.

We are so fortunate in Southern Ontario to have this much green space. It is too valuable to destroy.
All living beings benefit from the green belt - it is protected from development for all of our health, well-being and prosperity.

We all benefit financially from the green belt. See article “Evaluating the economic benefits of the green belt assets”. Quote: “The Greenbelt delivers $9.1 billion economic impact every year and 161,000 full-time equivalent jobs in Ontario depend on it. It serves as a solid anchor for the region’s agricultural, tourism and recreation industries.”

Please keep the green belt green for the sake of all life.
