Hands off the Greenbelt!! Keep your promise Ford! This is not the solution to solving the housing crisis. Sprawl will only be costly and make the climate crisis worse. The Greenbelt is critically important for us all.
It’s harder and more expensive to build in a wetland area. Why would anyone do that when there is serviced urban space just waiting for revival/ redevelopment. It makes no sense.
It is a grave mistake to change the boundaries of the Greenbelt Act or Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. We have more than enough land to create the housing we need in the Greater Toronto Area.

Sad to see the Greenbelt being slowly chipped away at. This was one of Doug Ford's election promises that he would not touch it. Not very democratic and the fact that developers are waiting with land already bought is suspicious.

I strongly disagree with the proposed changes to the Greenbelt. The area was designated after widespread environment consultation and consideration. It represents important greenspace and watersheds and it is not appropriate to change this.

1. Your proposal to open small pieces of the Greenbelt fragments the habitat, which is environmentally unsound practice.
2. It will have no impact on the creation of housing in cities where most people live.

This ammendement and Bill 23 are kneejerk reactions to the proposed 1.5 million new immigrants coupled with a severe lack of homes for already established Canadians.

We need to protect and grow the green belt. And we don’t need more cul-de-sacs and highways, we need affordable, environmentally sound housing supported by mass transit. There seems to be a total denial of climate change within this government.
This Bill must not pass. It favours the wrong kind of development. I see land all around me that could be put to better use. Homeowners on suburban plots can be part of densification that communities need economically while supporting construction, good jobs and building healthy local economies.

Will the changes to the Greenbelt area really provide affordable housing? How many units will be affordable housing and will it only be the developers profiting from not paying development charges.

Hello, I want to know protections and safeguards will be in place to ensure that the housing being built will actually be accessible and affordable for those who have been left out of home ownership.

The More Hones, Built Faster Act intends to expand land resources for housing development into the long protected “Greenbelt” surrounding the GTA. This need for more land is not borne out by reality.

I would not like to see any protected area be redesignated. These areas are protected for a reason. This is a very slippery slope and undermines the integrity of government promises. Who will protect these green spaces for our future generations.
The provincial Government needs to encourage the construction of
more affordable homes and rental units in the province;
however
It is vital for our future that it does so in an environmentally sustainable way
not only in terms of construction methods but very importantly in terms of where

I strongly disagree with the proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Area boundary regulation. The Greenbelt is intended to be permanently protected land. If we start chipping away at it, it will open the door for future reductions to this important space.

The greenbelt was created to serve the purpose of preserving wildlife and limiting human impact on nature. Its boundries need to be preserved and bill 23 reversed.
Save the greenbelt!
There are obviously monetary reasons for developers to target beautiful natural spaces to build one family dwellings with lawns and driveways and roads, services, and the usual use of chemicals involved in suburban housing. Planting invasive species destroy habitats near developments.

I feel that it is vitally important to protect Ontario's greenbelt as it currently exists for the well-being and enjoyment of this and future generations. Greenbelt lands should not be used for housing or other developments.
