This Ontario Government swore it would not touch the Greenbelt. Premiere Ford said he "listen to the people and wouldn't touch it"... The proposed changes will have no significant impact on affordable housing in Ontario and will not even begin to cover the growing concerns of Families living here.

Ontario’s Greenbelt was created in 2005 to protect the headwaters of the rivers that flow into Lake Ontario. It was also created in order to limit urban sprawl. It was created to preserve valuable farmland.

I have been a public servant for 17 years and I have never witnessed such poor decision-making by a government as that of Bill 23. Without proper density and no more sprawl, we will diminish further any hope that our children and grandchildren's lives will be stable, let alone, enjoyable.

The proposed “More Homes Built Faster Act” (Bill 23) fails to consider its social, economic, and environmental impacts on rural waterfront communities throughout Ontario.

I’m writing to you today in support of the Greenbelt, Conservation Authorities and Ontario’s wetlands, woodlands and other natural areas.
Firstly, I am writing to state my opposition to the proposal to remove 7,400 acres of land from the Greenbelt, which was revealed on November 04.

The Green belt is an environmentally protected area for a reason. It is where our water comes from. How is that being overlooked. This land is not for development. The fact that developers own it is because they know this is what the PC we’re going to do.

I would highly encourage the Government not to continue with removing areas of the Greenbelt as part of this plan. The Greenbelt was created to protect and preserve the high quality farm land and ecological systems that surround and support the GTA.

Do not breach the Greenbelt. If anything the boundaries need to be extended to protect more moraines and the Grand River Watershed. This is a dangerous idea and one that future generations will curse this government for making.

I am objecting to the proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Plan because it is obvious that the Conservative Party under the leadership of Doug Ford has no concept of how damaging such amendments are to our precious wetlands and green spaces.

This proposal is absolutely counter to the advice provided by the affordable housing tax force. A shortage of land is not the problem. Why did taxpayers fund a tax force of experts if you do not listen to them?

We need to maintain ALL of our green belt for now and future generations. We need these lands to ensure an ecologically sound living habitat for us humans.

We are writing to request a redesignation of additional areas of land currently designated under the Greenbelt Plan. These lands are legally known as 3655 and 3700 Hancock Road in Courtice (PINs 266980035 and 266980251).

I believe that this plan is only to the benefit of developers that have conveniently recently purchased land in these greenbelt dezoning areas at huge discounts, they don't help the housing crisis as now the government will create gains in the multiples for these developers by dezoning greenbelt whi

The Greenbelt was to be protected in perpetuity. This protection was put on the land for important enviromental reasons. How short sighted it is to lift this protection.
