I do not agree with this proposal. Our green belt is vital to our ecosystem and continuing to encroach on the environment and building more suburbs instead of affordable housing is not the way to go. Do better. We’re in a period where every move matters for our environmental future. Read more

We need more detached housing in the province. This seems like a very fair and equitable solution to provide more detached homes in the gta. When the greenbelt was implemented we did not foresee a complete housing affordability crisis or covid related debts.

Ontario does indeed have a housing crisis; however, the crisis is not just one of supply, but affordability. We are also in an accelerating environmental crisis, characterized by, among other things, climate change and loss of green cover and natural habitats. Read more

We need to protect our fragile environment. This area, our Greenbelt, was designated protected for a reason - to suddenly change plans, especially during a time when climate change is aversely affecting our entire planet - seems especially short sighted. Read more

This is a terrible plan. Our earth needs protection and not destruction. There are many other ways to generate housing without destroying habitats and green space that our earth desperately needs. Please don’t do this. My children and their children will thank you.

These Green Belt zoning amendments should not go through. The province should be focused on densifying suburban areas with townhouses and low-rise apartments or condos instead of focusing on single family dwellings further and further away from places of work and life. Read more

Members of Ontario government, PLEASE protect our Greenbelt and cease any legislative and political attempts to profit on such blatant exploitative real estate development. This is NOT in the interest of the majority - use all of the rhetoric you want, but you will only be convincing yourselves. Read more

This plan needs to be halted immediately. There were multiple promises made to the people of Ontario that the Greenbelt would not be opened up for development. That promise needs to be honored! This is not needed in order to meet housing demand and the government knows that.

Objectively, the following has been determined (for example, by Ontario's Auditor General this week): 1) Developers scooped up Greenbelt land just before Ford opened it up to development. In any other jurisdiction, we would very strongly call this out as _extremely_ suspect. Read more
