The people of Ontario believed that the Greenbelt would be protected in perpetuity . Now the Ontario Government wants to remove 7400 acres from the greenbelt in order to build homes. We believed the Premier when he said "the people have spoken we won't touch the greenbelt. Read more

I am writing to express my strong opposition to your proposal to remove 7,400 acres from the Greenbelt (ERO #019-6216 and #019-6217). I do not accept the government’s misleading premise that these Greenbelt lands are needed for housing. Read more

Ontario green space should be preserved. Many Canadians (new and old) moving to cities would rather live downtown where services are available for transportation to and from where they want to go without jumping in a car and spending time in traffic. Read more

I am writing to express my vehement opposition to the new Bill 23 and the long-term, negative impact this regressive bill will have on Ontario's Greenbelt, wetlands, farmland, sustainable building standards, and the increased financial burden it will ultimately place on taxpayers. Read more

I am disgusted with Bill 23 and the policy proposals designed to weaken environmental protections and remove public involvement in land use planning. It is atrocious that Ford's government is planning to: 1. Remove my right to appeal planning matters Read more

Do not alter the green belt, this proposal does nothing for the AFFORDABLE housing crisis and only benefits developers. Developers are actively contributing to our housing problems and are causing economic, social and environmental damage. This proposal only feeds corporate profit.

As currently written, Bill 23 would be a disaster for Ontario. As the climate crisis worsens, wetlands are essential to stave off expensive floods, and farmland is increasingly valuable - yet this bill would decimate both. Read more

We all need green spaces, so I do not recommend taking down what we already have. All of nature depends on the green space. Animals and humans all need green spaces. Please leave them alone for the health of our future generations.

Why are we even touching the Greenbelt after Doug Ford promised not to touch it in 2018? I am very concerned over this proposed bill 23. We have plenty of places to build without sprawling onto more of the Greenbelt. Read more

I'm a homeowner in the Upper Beaches in Toronto. I currently have a laneway home being built next door. What was formerly a beautiful, unobstructed view of a city park is now a giant wall. But I believe in laneway builds as one of many solutions to assist with the home shortage. Read more
