In your role as public…

In your role as public servants, I ask you to respect and support the County of Wellington Regional Official Plan. It was put together over many months of hard work, by the residents, Councils, and municipal staffs within our region. It is the plan we want. It is a plan that accommodates more growth than provincially required, protects our groundwater upon which we are 100% dependent, and reserves the most productive farmland in the world to produce food for our growing province. The Plan is the product of local knowledge, hard-won experience, and awareness of the growing horrors of climate change. We want Ontario to benefit from the fact that we, one of the fastest growing economies in Canada, have done the hard work required by the Province.

I do not want urban sprawl and provincial government overreach is what you will be doing if you continue to ignore what our municipal staff have proposed.

Sincerely
Laura Beattie
Guelph, ON
