Please do not change the current Greenbelt boundaries. And do not allow new types of building on those areas — the Greenbelt is one of our treasures that bring Ontarians closer to the land, and the land closer to us. Read more

Let it be known that I am strongly opposed to Bill 23 and its amendments!

As a southern Ontario (Canadian) citizen and taxpayer, I strongly oppose 019-6216 Proposed Amendments to the Greenbelt Plan, 019-6217 Proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Area boundary regulation, 019-6218 Proposed redesignation of land under the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and Bill 23.

This is not the solution for thousands of people desperately trying to find affordable rent or mortgages. Read more

I strongly urge the Premier to: withdraw the plan to remove lands from the Greenbelt as it will destroy habitat and reduce biodiversity in our region. Read more
