We strongly oppose bill 66. The premier while running for office said that the greenbelt would be protected. Bill 66 does not protect our farmland, our precious water, does not have respect for the animals who live in our woods. This is not democracy at work. Read more

The Province of Ontario’s proposed Bill 66 allows for provincial intervention to remove or weaken protections on safe drinking water, agricultural lands, and democratic consultation. Further, planning exemptions granted under Bill 66 would not require notification or consultation with residents. Read more

Opening our Green Belt for development will put 2 million acres of natural areas, habitats and wetlands at risk of development. Not only will it put many animal species at risk, it will greatly threaten our drinking water with increased exposure to toxic chemicals. Don't let this happen.

This legislation would be a disaster for the future of Ontario's children and the environment. Important safeguards that have been developed over many years for our water, land and air are being dismantled. Why? Another disaster could occur such as the tragedy of Walkerton!!!!

Do not open the greenbelt for development. No one believes that is a good idea. Not in the interests of building affordable housing, and not in the interest of creating employment. Those are lies. This is an obvious and irreversible land grab, money grab, and it is ill-advised. Read more
