As our public servants, I ask you to respect and support the Waterloo Regional Official Plan. Over many months the residents, Councils, and municipal staffs within our region worked on the present plan. It is the plan we want. This plan 1) accommodates more growth than provincially required, 2) protects our groundwater upon which we are 100% dependent, and 3) reserves the most productive farmland in the world to produce food for our growing province. This is the product of local knowledge, hard-earned experience, and awareness of the growing horrors of climate change. Please allow Ontario to benefit from the fact that we have already done the hard work required by the Province.
