I feel this is extremely shortsighted and irresponsible as building on the green belt will destroy fragile ecosystems and further support climate change which will bring additional problems, globally. Slowing the Greenbelt to be developed will not support affordable housing. Read more

The protected lands of the Greenbelt, which once developed can never go back to the environmentally sensitive state that they are. Ford’s government has not provided any study or concrete evidence that development of the Greenbelt is necessary. Read more

I object to the proposal to remove sections of the Greenbelt and open those up for development. Doug Ford has repeatedly promised that the Greenbelt would not be touched. It is a vital area of the province that protects habitat, and agricultural land that cannot be reclaimed once it is developed. Read more

First of all it was a Ford government campaign promise that they would not touch the greenbelt. Read more

This whole thing is ridiculous. I grew up in the UK which is high density in population but the greenbelts around all the villages and towns are what makes it liveable. Sprawl is not the solution. Greenbelts around urban centres is something for the future. Once you build on it, it's gone forever.
