If I am reading this…

If I am reading this correctly, you are maintaining the ability to assure prime agricultural lands and heritge areas out of the planner’s hands. I would applaud this if this is correct. I would hope and expect that municipalities such as mine, which have within their boundaries a fair bit of farmland, would be required to document that land, and hold it at the highest level of secutiry from development. We need to have the ability to grow food, and Southern Ontario has some of the best land in Cnada. We have already lost much of it to urban development. I don’t think we can afford to lose any more.

As well, we need to maintain natural and heritage areas to act as reminders of our history, but also to act a buffers in a world which is changing through Climate deterioration.
