I think this policy of swapping land in and out of the Greenbelt is short-sighted and will cause long-term environmental impacts that cannot be reversed once implemented. The Greenbelt is an important ecological concept that should not be subject to change. Read more

Honestly? Y'all need to be told not to build houses on environmentally protected land? Even if wetlands and flood plains weren't crucial to non-human ecosystems (which they very much are) do you really think it's worth building residential structures on such wet, unstable land? Read more

Loss of protected areas is a slippery slope and in no way sustainable. Population growth must be slowed. The greenbelt is the lungs for Metro Toronto, we will end up with degraded air and water quality as we lose the ecosystem services provided by these areas...

It is unconscionable that this is even a consideration. The Green Belt is such an important part of Ontario and should not be used as space to build houses or for any other building development. It should remain as green space that we as humans need! Read more
