Whereas the goal of increasing housing supply and reducing barriers in planning processes as set out in the recent legislative, regulatory and policy changes, is welcomed.

Hello, Given the climate changes affecting extreme weather causing floods and droughts, it is essential to maintain green spaces that thrive. Farm land helps us with food security. Green space helps cool against extreme heat. Green spaces absorb excess water instead of flooding.

I am concerned about the current boundary expansion proposal. I would prefer to see housing developed within the urban core which will not require taxpayers to fund new services, and will be eligible to federal funding. We need to preserve our green spaces.

As a 61-year-old farmer and ratepayer in the southern portion of Peterborough County, I view the opportunity to create building lots from my farm as a positive opportunity and I support the government's decision to amend current laws to create this opportunity for growth and it will allow me the op

1. What are your thoughts on the policies that have been included from the PPS and A Place to Grow in the proposed policy document, including the proposed approach to implementation?

Our community has so little good employment…Stelco has stated that they will pull out of Nanticoke if you build. You really need to look at how much Stelco pays in taxes and also their employees. If you lose all that money, will you really recoup just with property taxes?

Ontario is experiencing a crisis in housing. Building single family homes on flood plains and other environmentally sensitive or agriculturally significant land isn't going to house low income people.

I strongly object to the proposed changes to the Provincial Planning Policy wrt Ontario's prime farmland. Much of it is Class 1 farmland and needs to be used to grow food for people and animals.

This is incredibly short sighted. Once farmland is lost to development you can’t get it back. Housing needs can be met on a much smaller land base. All this does is create more large, expensive lots for the rich, inflating the price of land and blocking it a new generation of farmers.

I was talking with a friend about Bill 97 when this thought came to mine. No one or group of people can force a farmer to sell a building lot for a home unless "The ontario government permits it." Therefore the land owner get to make the final decision.
The infinite growth that our current provincial government is obsessed with is unsustainable and wholly negligent. Our greenspaces, especially life sustaining watersheds, require our protection as does the wildlife that depend on them for their very survival.

I strongly disagree with the use of farmland in developing housing when many options and land is already available. Our farmland in Southern Ontario is key to feeding the population of this province and preserving a balance of land use and population density.

It is a grave mistake to allow the all important farmland to be used for suburbs. Instead, the existing land zoned for residential use should allow for intensification. Single-family homes are the past and should not be the future for most residents of Ontario.
The proposed planning initiatives for housing (PPS 2023, Bill 97) fails to ensure strong protection now and in the future for two critical elements: our food security and our climate/environment.
