Explanding the greenbelt is an excellent idea. I understand it means increased density in housing development which will not be popular, but could be managed, perhaps drawing more on design from some of the older, small-lot developments with good public transport and main street services.
In the endeavour to combat urban sprawl, while at the same time reducing air pollution, it makes very good sense to increase the size of the greenbelt.

The largest possible expansion of the Greenbelt will protect ecological corridors and keep important natural areas off limits to development.
The Rouge River upstream of Rouge National Urban Park and Duffin’s Creek are key areas for restoration and enhanced protection and connectivity.
This is super! If possible, Turtle protection areas could be worked in. Perhaps an organization like the Kawartha Turtle Trauma Centre (KTTC) could be consulted regarding any Turtle nesting or crossing zones. They may have relevant suggestions and on sensitive areas.

Hello,
I am in favour of expanding the Greenbelt.
I have grown up close to the Rouge Valley on the edge of Scarborough. I am glad that it has gotten some protection and that the animals and birds of the region have a home.

I agree with the addition of the Paris-Galt Moraine to the Green belt. Moraines are very important as watercourse sources and need protection.
I also agree with the addition of the proposed Urban River Valleys to the Greenbelt as they provide protection for water quality and wildlife.

It is time to extend the Greenbelt west into Brant County, Waterloo Region, Wellington County and perhaps even Oxford County. We must save what we can of the remaining forest cover and wetlands in these important areas.

Continued development of pockets of the Oak Ridges trail and Moraine is an example of what MUST stop if we are to have any wildlife in our midst around the urban centres in Ontario.

I am very happy to learn of this proposed expansion of the Greenbelt. Any legislation that will protect southern Ontario's rapidly diminishing natural areas is definitely worth enacting.
