Strengthening the Greenbelt…

Strengthening the Greenbelt is a vital and positive step toward environmental sustainability and mitigation of climate change impacts.
To keep the Greenbelt safe this legislation can be strengthened by including regulations:
a) which allow this or any future government to expand the Greenbelt,
b) however will not allow this or any future governmennot to take land away from it.
c) putting conservation easements over the entire Greenbelt area

This protection will protect Ontario 's prime farmland from urban sprawl. Food security is imperative now, and into the future. We are fortunate to have primary agricultural land to do so. We must keep it.
Ontario communities can thrive through planning to build by using intensification to build affordable housing and develop employment lands within current urban boundaries. Building walkable neighborhoods, with mixed use housing to address the housing affordability crisis, green spaces, and public transportation is what we need.
