Farm land is too valuable to be used and broken into patches for housing. Housing must be placed in the urban area, close to shops, medical staff/facilities, schools and amenities...long drives for these offers are not welcome especially in winter. Read more

We strongly oppose changes to the Provincial Policy Statement, 2022 (PPS) and the Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe (Growth Plan). These changes would accelerate urban sprawl and the ongoing loss of farmland and natural areas in Ontario. Read more

Section 4.3.3 Lot Creation and Lot Adjustments seems promising for my family. Our family has lived on the same land for 200 years, and this provides an opportunity to continue to do so by building two additional homes for my brother and I. Read more

There is not enough space in our elementary school for students - most of the south side has to be bussed out of town to attend school. There is almost no recreation for seniors here. Read more
