I was born and raised near the Greenbelt. Throughout my whole life (20 years), I've watched the Greenbelt age gracefully and allow for nature to grow. The Greenbelt creates habitats for nearby wildlife and it's trails provide an escape from the business of life. I've used it's trails to clear my head and enjoy the nature around us.

I agree there's a housing crisis, however, cutting into the Greenbelt won't fix it. Additionally, the plan is to cut into small sections, but we all know that overtime we'll keep cutting bit by bit and the Greenbelt will be gone.

There are other opportunities to improve the housing crisis, such as refurbishing and renovating old buildings. Furthermore, the housing crisis isn't completely caused by lack of housing, rather the astronomical rent and purchase costs of living in Ontario.

There was a promise made that the government would leave the Greenbelt alone and they need to uphold that promise. There are alternatives to the housing crisis. It's not right for us (humans) to take more land from animals.
