As a native North American. I am against this move. You call it “growth” I call it a cancer. Look at history of what has occurred through time. In the early 1900’s the government brought in Irish, Italians and such. They were given the back breaking jobs. Read more

Please consider using existing land. We cannot afford to lose another inch of this limited, priceless ecosystem. It will protect us from the climate crisis. It will cost us everything to use it for homes when we have millions of acres of usable land and space elsewhere. Read more

This proposal is a slap in the face of every Ontarian who voted for Doug Ford. We want sustainable solutions for the housing and environmental crises. Reducing our green space and claiming to make already protected lands part of the Greenbelt is a lie. Read more

This backtrack on previous comments to preserve the greenbelt is outrageous and egregious. What is needed is to create more density rather than sprawl, and go back to previous commitments to protect this land rather than destroy it! Shame on this government

This plan will ruin the most precious part of Ontario and continue to create more problems for pollution and lack of green spaces while funding the pockets of men who just need to stay in power. Keep our green belt the way it is. This plan should not be considered

I do not support the proposed plans to open up the Greenbelt. Instead, the province should, in cooperation with the City of Toronto, examine the elimination of "Neighbourhood" OP land use designations within the boundaries of the old pre-amalgamation City of Toronto. Read more

If we don’t protect what is left of our lands, for me, specifically in Durham Region, then our children will never know anything but overpopulated and crowded neighbourhoods. We already attend an overcrowded school which has kids bused from a new subdivision down to our little school. Read more

Please see attached letter. Key points: - Greenbelt area is a minimum, not a maximum or optimum. Swapping lands is not defensible from a scientific perspective. - Ontario needs to increase areas protected for their ecological and agricultural value Read more

Definitely NO! The Greenbelt should not be touched. "The Greenbelt safeguards the vital resources that clean our air and water, reduces our flood risks, provides a home for wildlife, and ensures our communities have greenspace to explore." Are these concepts no longer valid? Read more
