My husband and I are against any housing development in Nanticoke. Peoples’ health and well being are at steak here. No place for a community of any size. Go live in Townsend. Nothing is good about this crazy idea of such a development in Nanticoke. Read more

Has a live long resident in Haldimand-Norfolk I am 100% against the proposed housing development in the Nanticoke area of Haldimand. The rural way of life would be severely negatively impacted. 1) Highway safety due to increased volume. Our roads are already too busy. Read more

Restore the greenbelt, let elected local politicians decide what development works for their areas. Stop forcing changes to local plans. Stop encouraging unsustainable sprawl that encourages pollution and makes municipal services more expensive Read more

We are in a climate crisis. We can’t afford to lose irreplaceable wetlands. We are in a housing crisis, not a land crisis, so this doesn’t solve it either. Younger generations are leaving the farm because small farmers are being squeezed out by large agribusinesses. Read more

This motion is undemocratic. There has already been an out roar over this bill and yet it was still moved forward anyways. There is more of us than there are of you. If an uproar isn’t enough for you to listen to your own citizens, then do we need to take stronger action? Read more

Greetings, I think the Ontario Government has to re-think the strategy it is presently forcing on the citizens of Ontario. To cut into wetlands or farmland will have a backfiring approach down the road. Read more
