To the Ministry of Municipal…

To the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. Please do not re-zone Greenbelt lands. The Alliance for a Liveable Ontario released a new report that shows enough land was already in the planning pipeline to build more than two million homes, twice as many as required by provincial housing targets. The people of Ontario have spoken and are clear that the Greenbelt is to be protected indefinitely, no matter who holds the decision-making positions. Clean air, water, biodiversity, habitat connectivity, functioning ecosystems, climate change resilience, recreation, well-being, are some of the reasons we need and have protected our Greenbelt. Projects that undermine the integrity of our natural environment are foolish and waste our investment to date and our goals of maintaining, restoring and enhancing the Greenbelt. Return the lands to the Greenbelt.
Thank you,
Sincerely,
Mandy K.
