Comment
I am very concerned with the proposal of Bill 66, as I feel it is a threat to the green spaces that I value so much.
The green spaces, like the Oak Ridges Moraine, are protected today because of the efforts of many past environmentally minded people. Richmond Hill, which is where I live, was ground zero in the fight to protect the Oak Ridges Moraine and many citizens fought hard to protect it for our future generations to enjoy and receive the benefit from its work in filtering and providing clean drinking water and the healthy headwaters of most of the major rivers flowing to Lake Ontario in the GTA area.
This Bill, although not immediately, will over time open up the floodgates for developpers to develop the spaces that we cherish, and also provide so many residents access to healthy headwaters. If the Oak Ridges Moraine becomes developped, many people will be affected. Developpers will not care about the people they have affected. Elected government officials should. You are for the people, by the people.
Thank you for considering my comment.
