Growing up in the north end of Toronto & on the edge of the Humber River, we were taken on many a school bus trip to study the amazing formation of the Oak Ridges Moraine and the importance of it as a part of our environment. Read more

Bill 66 is an omnibus disaster waiting to be unleashed on the people of Ontario’s! In particular Bill 66 opens the door to unwise, environmentally harmful development, especially of greenbelt lands and those in sensitive areas. Read more

As someone who works in the environmental assessment sector, I will say that there are many thousands of people with jobs like me (far more than the number of folks who recently lost jobs at GM) and any legislation that allows developers to avoid such studies is a bad idea. Read more

I would like Schedule 10 removed from Bill 66. I think it is incredibly irresponsible and reckless to allow municipalities to override provisions in the Greenbelt Act, Clean Water Act, Lake Simcoe Act, Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act and Great Lakes Protection Act. Read more

Doug Ford is breaking a campaign promise not to touch the Greenbelt (surprise, surprise). This guy seems to want to threaten our drinking water, apparently that's "for the people". Why remove protection from toxics chemicals? Is this man trying to kill us all? Thanks Doug. Read more

Please think about our children. Please remove Schedule 10 from Bill 66, which allows municipalities to override provisions in the Greenbelt Act, Clean Water Act, Lake Simcoe Act, Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act and Great Lakes Protection Act.

These lands were given specific protection by the will of the people to retain a vestige of their former glory. NO ONE should have any right to change that status. There are enough other areas in this vast province that would welcome a higher tax base. Fill those lands first. Read more

The Greenbelt is a critical part of the future health and well-being of Ontarians. Without it, people in Toronto and surrounding municipalities will be forced to pay more for local food, and will suffer from a lack of natural areas for recreation and mental health. Read more

Protecting the Green Belt is very important to the future of all Canadians. Once valuable farmland has been developed, that land is lost forever. Our population is only increasing. Governments have the responsibility to make sure that we can feed future populations. Read more

It is my family’s wish that the Greenbelt continue to be protected and not be made available for residential or commerical use. We’ve destroyed enough of our environment. It makes me sick to my stomach to continually see woods and fields cleared in the area in which we live.

I absolutely do not support the changes to the multiple pieces of legislation targeted by Bill 66. Fifty jobs can make all hard-fought for protections disappear? How much will it cost us to fix the harm done by these"job-creation" projects? Is that like selling our lives for pieces of silver?
