The proposed Bill 66…

The proposed Bill 66 threatens the Province of Ontario's Greenbelt. It opens for development our historic woodlands, our wetlands, our natural areas, our places and protections for specific species to build habitat and our fast dwindling, receding and disappearing farmlands.

Bill 66 threatens our abilities to protect our natural heritage, our water resources, our food resources and thereby our human health and well-being.

These bylaws would take precedence over existing municipal plans, and would lead to more urban sprawl. Southern Ontario has reached a saturation point for urban sprawl. It is becoming nothing more than a repetitive pattern of mega-highways, massive strip malls, and vast horizons jammed packed with the rooftops of houses as far as the eye can see.

This is not a sustainable way of life, let alone a pleasant way of life. It is fast becoming a wasteland.

Ontario's GREENBELT is essential for climate resiliency and for preserving our natural lands and our natural heritage. The heritage bestowed upon us and for our safe-keeping!
