This is a terrible plan. Our family and community are completely against this proposal. We NEED to keep our Green belt as just that. Green. There must be a better way to address housing needs without destroying the few protected areas we have left. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

The government should be protecting the existing Greenbelt and adding to it. Until every bit of underdeveloped, vacant or underused property in the Golden Horseshoe is better utilized, greenbelt land should not even be considered for development. Read more

With the amount of available space for development (as shown by the Housing Commission), there is absolutely no reason to destroy or alter the precious and vital Greenbelt. The government made a promise to keep their hands off this land, and somehow land has still been sold to developers. Read more

I think it is important to consider the effects this will have on the health of the surrounding population. Redesignating agricultural land will make the prices of food higher in the surrounding area, so affordable housing does not make much sense if people cannot afford to eat. Read more

Premier Ford promised not to touch the Greenbelt. There is no need to remove or redesignate Greenbelt lands. There is plenty of available land already zoned appropriately to build affordable homes. This broken promise will not be forgotten the next time we vote in a provincial election. Read more

The approach taken by this government is flawed: -lack of studies to explain how they decided on which lands, why they are taking this approach, what are the ramifications… it takes decades to protect areas and apparently a month to destroy all that work Read more

There is NO need to open up the greenbelt to development except to line the pockets of developer friends of Ford! The cost is astronomical. Losing our greenbelt is NOT an option and if we ever wanted a politician to keep a promise it is now! STOP FORD. Leave out greenbelt alone.
