Minister Clark,
Include the Paris-Galt Moraine in your expansion of the Greenbelt. It needs increased protections, like no quarrying below the water table in the Greenbelt expansion area.

Question 5: How should we balance or prioritize any potential Greenbelt expansion with the other provincial priorities mentioned above?
I submit the following:

I would like to have the agency consider protecting the Doris McCarthy Trail and the Sylvan Trail and park. The property owners abutting the Doris McCarthy Trail are removing trees from their land and this could potentially adversely affect erosion and the beauty of the area.

Growing the size of the Greenbelt should recognize a goal of a protecting a broad functioning connected area from Toronto to Ottawa. In the immediate term, areas should be identified through Northumberland, Peterborough and Hastings Counties connecting to the Canadian Shield.
Growing the greenbelt and stopping all development that would destroy greenspaces, wetlands, our natural heritage and water resource systems is a very high priority to Canadians. Ontario must put conservation and climate change on the top of our agenda.

Hello there, I wholehearted say YES to expanding the Greenbelt. I can only see benefits to this happening. However I would also like to state that you need to please protect the existing Greenbelt that is there.
Please reconsider commencing the start of this new highway. We must protect the environment and the local green lands. Myself and many others are opposed to this, so please take into consideration the thoughts and beliefs of those who reside in the area. Thank you very much!

Yes, yes, yes! Finally a step in the right direction! Expansion of the Greenbelt is 100% the right way to go, and we should be seeing more opportunities to expand this precious resource!

Ecological systems are too complex to be recreated once destroyed; developed systems are easily recreated, since they were simple enough to be created in the first place. Accordingly, only allow development on already-developed land i.e. redevelopment.

The overwhelming requirement of the government is to address the climate crisis more effectively and more quickly. No further development of any existing green space can be allowed.

I support your idea of expanding the greenbelt and yet have noticed certain areas that are already supposed to be protected by the greenbelt are being developed on and feel we need to enforce protection on those areas first.

I just wanted to write to express my strong support for saving and expanding our Green belt. The time of destroying nature and animals for corporate profit is over - preserving these spaces is more important than corporate profit...its for all of Canada.
The imperative for healthy nature has never been stronger. The evidence for access to nature, especially for urban folks, has never been more timely to enhance mental and emotional health.
I totally favour systematically increasing and enhancing the Greenbelt. The Greenbelt is a Gem of Ontario.
Please work to grow the green belt. We need green spaces more than ever in this era of the destruction of nature. Once paved over, these places of beauty and wonder are gone forever. Please do the right thing for people, nature and future generations
