Key to land-use development…

Key to land-use development anywhere in the world is the fact that our natural heritage and farmland are what support our lives, health and economies. All else is built on this. If the Ontario government does not put protection of these crucial natural resources first, and build housing in concentrated walkable communities, then they are threatening the livelihoods and lives of Ontarians now and into the future. We cannot live on pavement and bricks. They don't supply us with food, air or water. And building on our remaining natural resources while encouraging sprawl and a car-based economy is a recipe for climate disaster. The PPS that had been developed before 2020, the Growth Plan and other forward looking planning documents need to be restored and protections for natural heritage and farmland made paramount. This is what the people of Ontario want.
