The amendments to the Protected Greenbelt must not be passed.
Our Premier promised to keep the Greenbelt safe "in it's entirety" and that is how it must remain.

I do not support the amendments to the green belt. As a public health professional in Kingston, I work in the intersection of public health and urban design.

I'm writing to express my tremendous concerns over Bill 23 and the destruction of the greenbelt in Ontario. This land is crucial for the future of our province, providing farmland, wetlands, and greenspaces needed for all of us to thrive, including species at risk.

Bill 23 is detrimental to the present and future population of Ontario. It has been proven that sprawl outside the urban boundaries of Ontario is not necessary, and affordable housing can more easily be achieved with new bylaws and densification and keeping development within existing boundaries.

York and Durham regions are where the majority of the lands to be taken out of the Greenbelt. York and Durham have already given up large tracts of land to development of urban sprawl in the way of single house dwellings on small lots.

Building on the Greenbelt breaks a promise! There is land already designated for housing and that’s the land that should be used. We need the wetlands to help manage water and to continue to perform its other environmental functions such as helping to clean the air of co2.

I am firmly against any development of the Greenbelt. This land should be kept free from urban sprawl for generations to come. It protects our drinking water, air quality, habitat for threatened and endangered species and grade A farm land.

Build up not out we NEED green areas and wildlife. Please look into alternative housing solutions. Protected green space and farmland is not the solution.
I am vehemently opposed to this bill . The invasion of OUR Greenbelt by developers( cronies of Ford and his minions) is deplorable and does not address the issue of affordable ( not attainable) housing in Ontario.

I would like to comment on the decision to go forward to support affordable housing utilizing the greenbelt area. I am not in support of this direction. Although I am in support of providing/increasing affordable housing, and it should be a priority.

I am opposed to the proposal. We need the greenbelt to provide us quality air, an food because there is a lot of farm land. We are already experiencing global warming. We should be protecting the environment not crushing it even more. Our future generations need and deserved quality of life.

We should all be concerned about the direction this province is going. With respect to the Greenbelt specifically, the conversation shifts from an environmental perspective, to one about ethics and corruption. Our government has become inequitable.

The Green Belt is sacrosanct. It is so important for our future generations to leave this land as is. I was born and raised in Toronto. It has been disheartening at times to see how my city and surrounding areas have changed. I remember when there was mostly farm land north of hwy 7.

In 2020, the agri-food sector within the 7,200 square kilometres of Greenbelt generated approximately $4.1 billion in GDP. It provided 59,000 jobs and generated $900 million in farm purchases of goods and services in 2017, according to a Greenbelt Foundation report released in February 2022.

The lack of concern for the environment from the government is beyond disturbing. This is not the place to be building homes with no respect for the environmental impact, including wildlife.

Do not develop the greenbelt to address the housing issue, look to unused or under used office space in urban settings instead. The greenbelt is too valuable from an environmental perspective.

This is a short sighted idea which will negatively impact future generations. For my grandchildren and yours it is imperative we save and expand the Greenbelt.
