The Ontario provincial government continues to open up lands unnecessarily for development, while adequate lands have already been approved and are waiting for construction to begin.
First the Greenbelt, then extending Hamilton city boundaries, and now opening up precious farmland for housing through land severences. The world is facing a climate change reality that the Ontario government continues to ignore. We are already seeing the increased vulnerability of food production world wide. The Ontario government needs to support the production of food locally and sustainably to ensure food security for Ontarians now and into the future. Protecting agricultural land is key for our children and grandchildren.
I ask the Ontario government to reverse its position on farmland severences. Ontarians want affordable and sustainable housing on lands already approved, within city boundaries. Thanks for listening to Ontarians!
