I support expanding the greenbelt as much as possible to protect natural spaces for the people living in Southern Ontario. Now more than ever, we need to understand the value of green spaces for our health, the health of animals and plants, for peoples' mental health, for climate change mitigation.

I live in the Niagara region, which is surrounded by (and in) the Greenbelt.
This is such a special and unique biosphere; indeed, it is an example and point of admiration to the rest of the world.

Let's prioritize preserving and expanding the Greenbelt, and focus on infrastructure upgrades to existing systems and networks elsewhere to support urbanization/expansion. We need more green space more than ever.
As a citizen of the Town of Collingwood and Town for over 30 years , I'm very concerned with the number of developments currently on the books for the coming 5 years. These are going to increase the number of residents inmour Town by over 5000 new homes in less than 5 years.

Add Simcoe County to the Greenbelt.
Simcoe County farmland needs protection.
Urban Sprawl reduces farmland.
Reduced farmland = less FOOD

The Whitevale Marsh should be included in the Greenbelt.

While from an environmental perspective I fully support protecting ecologically sensitive areas, I think one of the biggest consequences of the existing Greenbelt being implemented is a substantial increase in the cost of housing due to limiting development across significant swaths of land within u

Protecting our land in Ontario is of vital importance to members of the Niagara Falls Nature Club. We would like to see the greenbelt expanded to protect natural areas, agricultural lands, our wildlife habitat and our drinking water.

I am expressing my support for the expansion of the greenbelt. Expansion has to be done in a way that respects our green spaces, natural heritage, and wildlife. It must serve to de-fragment provincially significant wetlands, forests, marshes, and farmland.
