Thanks for all your help…

Thanks for all your help last year to stop 4330 acres (1752 hectares) of Waterloo Region farmland from being paved over.*
Thanks to your letters, phone calls, emails to Regional Councillors, Regional Council almost unanimously** voted for a Regional Official Plan that will save the Countryside Line, stop urban sprawl, and help us fight climate change by reducing traffic emissions.

But Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing, could undo all that.
We have until 11:59pm tomorrow night, Wednesday January 4, to stop him.

PLEAES CONSIDER FUTURE GENERATIONS IN YOUR PLANNING! Build UP, not out!

We need farmers, we need farmland - because I save money by buying locally produced food
because my family is healthier from eating food grown locally, by people I can know and trust
because building inside the city limits will mean people don't have to drive everywhere and can save money they'd otherwise have to spend on gas
because it respects the citizens of Waterloo Region: all but one of our 17 elected representatives voted for the Regional Official Plan Amendment 6.
because it fights climate change. It will reduce traffic emissions, the biggest source of greenhouse gases in Waterloo Region
