I would like to see a strong provincial and national Natural Heritage System and Water Protection System designed in conjunction with growing the Greenbelt. It makes sense that the Greenbelt be protected and expanded as a main feature of these other two systems.
In this time of climate change we need to protect our environment and food supply. The Green Belt should be expanded using scientific studies. This is important for our children and grandchildren. We need to led sustainable lives. COVID has shown many people the importance of nature.

I am a resident of the Port Hope east end and Oak Ridges Moraine area of the Greenbelt and I fully support growing the size of the Greenbelt in Ontario.

How to grow the green space? By adding to it, not threatening it.
I am very disturbed by the Ford "government's" attacks on this province and the number of bills that bury threats to our rights to accountability and environmental oversight.

I am all in favour of increasing the size of the Greenbelt to protect wetlands, watersheds and Class 1 farmland.
The proposal to build Highway 413 will actually reduce the size of the existing Greenbelt.

It is hard to know whether this 'Consultation' is meant to be in good faith, or simply as some kind of cover for the Ford government's frequent actions promoting development specifically at the expense of conservation, for example the 413 highway directly THROUGH THE GREENBELT, nevermind gutting Con

Metrolinx proposes building a layover for diesel trains in the lower don valley.

I'm concerned about families and children access to green spaces, community outdoor spaces and access to outdoor educational activities. Not enough of these mentioned are available throughout the GTA and Greebelt.
You have spent money to grow the green belt but have no money to find a cure for Lymes Disease. In fact most doctors in this province don’t recognize Lymes. This disease is carried by ticks who breed in greenbelt areas. This is the next silent pandemic!
As one of the family members that has farmed the area in the proposed greenbelt expansion plan I think you should consider the land holders futures as well.

There is more than enough developable land west of Clairington, for the next few decades at least. The government needs to prevent developers from developing any piece of land beyond Clarington. I am for expanding the green belt and preventing any more development within the green belt.

1) The Grand River should be included as an Urban River Valley.
"The Grand River Conservation Authority (GRCA) manages water and other natural resources on behalf of 39 municipalities and close to one million residents of the Grand River watershed."

1) Stop Highway 413 - it's bad for the people of Ontario, it's a terrible use of funds, and it's horrible for the environment. Put that money into public transit and fund transit projects to create jobs.

I strongly support efforts to expand the green belt. With regards to the province’s competing priorities on infrastructure, I would question whether every other approach has been exhausted. There is a dire need for infrastructure upgrades within existing developed land. Why is that not prioritized?
