As a life long resident of Ontario I believe the green belt is an essential part of our province. I feel as though it is incredibly important to have all this nature surrounding our cities and it’s necessary that we keep that green space safe and protected.

I understand the need for more housing in our province but I also believe using the green belt to build that housing should be an absolute last resort. We need to expand housing in areas of the province that are already developed. Like creating more mid density housing in areas of our cities that currently only allow single family zoning. We should be building more housing in areas with existing or planned rapid transit infrastructure, like all the GO train stations in the province that are surrounded by nothing but parking.
