I’m writing to you today in support of the Greenbelt, Conservation Authorities and Ontario’s wetlands, woodlands and other natural areas. Firstly, I am writing to state my opposition to the proposal to remove 7,400 acres of land from the Greenbelt, which was revealed on November 4. Read more

What is the point of having a green belt if you’re just going to cut out parts and “put them elsewhere”? This sets an EXTREMELY dangerous precedent… at this point why not just put the entire green belt in the middle of Thunder Bay and open the entire south part of Ontario for development. Read more

I find this whole situation regarding the Greenbelt appalling. There are many, many options to create affordable housing without stealing protected lands from our children. The mandate given this government by the people did not include pillaging our resources for profitable development. Read more

I am so concerned with the hastiness with which Bill 23 is being passed. What are we doing to ourselves? To our children? We rely on the greenbelt for our lives. There was a reason this was to be protected forever. Canada has so much space, we destroy our forests and water to our detriment. Read more
