We’re in a time where there’s development projects happening all over the province as it is. The already planned housing developments have made an big impact on ecosystems, there shouldn’t be more development projects happening that further decreases our natural resources. Read more

The Greenbelt should be protected in its entirety. In 2018, Doug Ford said that would never touch the Greenbelt. In 2021, Mr. Steve Clark said he would not touch the Greenbelt. The housing crisis is not a housing crisis for real estate, when Ontario is 7 times bigger than New York. Read more

This is an absolutely devasting, short-sighted, and ill advised plan. Further development in this area will increase the amount of flow that runs into Lake Ontario, and it's going to cause more flooding in the future that will only get worse with climate change. Read more

We don't need more single family homes that will just increase taxes, traffic, pollution. We need to focus on higher density housing in downtown cores. We don't need to expand it and boundaries either. We need to be making smarter decisions about the land that is already available. Read more

You can’t just add and remove lots from the green belt. If you make this change the green belt will continue to be paved over for generations and slowly migrated more and more northwards. Please keep the green belt intact as it was intended. -concerned citizen, Toronto

I am strongly opposed to these changes. Sustainable development should direct affordable housing projects to developed areas. Building more suburban properties on protected green space is not the solution to affordable housing. There is much space available within existing cities and towns. Read more

This is an absolute joke. When did Ontario become Ford’s playground to make all his developer friends richer? What happened to democracy? The Greenbelt needs to be protected. There is plenty of non Greenbelt land in Ontario to develop! When will there be a focus on true infrastructure? Read more

I am very worried about flooding in the GTA and the situation appears to be getting worse and worse. The Greenbelt plays an important role in minimizing the impacts of floods on the surrounding communities, and in this day and age homeowners need as much protection from disasters as possible.

I'm not inherently opposed to opening up parts of the green belt to development, but this proposal is far too broad. Policies to encourage more and denser housing development in suburbs like Markham, Vaughan, etc, would be more cost effective for the government in the long run.
