HI,

I am writing to comment on the Proposed Amendments to the Green Belt Act.

I am also opposed to opening up protected Greenbelt lands for development. Protecting these lands is critical for our watersheds, water quality, agricultural systems, and climate resilience. Allowing developers to pick off chunks of the Greenbelt in “land swaps” threatens these natural systems and creates more sprawl. Imposing sprawl on municipalities like Hamilton which have decided to add density within their boundaries instead of growing outwards into green spaces follows the same destructive path.

We need more intensification, less urban sprawl.
