I am a citizen concerned about the loss of farmland and the damage to our climate caused by my province’s poor judgment regarding land use.

Municipal governments are the proper elected officials to guide planning decisions that are best for the communities affected.

Ministry Zoning Orders issued to bypass proper long term planning decisions made after consultations with local citizens and other affected merely reward land developers. The further restrictions placed on municipal governments regarding fees and community benefits also pad the wallets of developers at the expense of the citizens of the affected communities.

No further expansion of city boundaries or building upon Greenbelt and farmland should allowed until all brownfield properties are developed and densities are increased within presently established urban boundaries.
