Please do not alter the greenbelt for housing. There are other viable options and promoting high rise buildings that utilize a lower carbon footprint. So not take from our much needed greenspace and agricultural land, and not without enormous environmental impact studies. Read more

This proposal is fundamentally wrong. The government made a promise. Doug Ford made a promise. It appears that Doug Ford can not be trusted to keep his word. He is compromising the future of our children. This Greenbelt boundary should be protected. Read more

As a newcomer to Toronto from Australia, I am appalled by a government that would promise greenbelt protection in one election and in the next one repeal Bill 23. Especially as the government was elected by a faulty first past the post election procedure. Read more

Since you cannot build anything in river valleys or wetlands , trading Green Belt on the Niagara peninsula for them is definitely not a fair trade . I believe no buildings should be allowed in the green belt that are less than 5 storey's and all with Leeds Gold standard and parking for all units . Read more

This is a bad idea that disregards the considered decisions and actions of previous experts and governments. The current government has not provided evidence as to how this bill will achieve it's stated purpose or why it is necessary. Read more

The green belt needs to remain in tact. Even with the green belt in tact as much as it has been - we’ve still seen flooding and desertification and heat stress. As we convert these natural climate and extreme impacts into urban landscape or sprawl or housing, the greater the impacts will become. Read more

I am deeply opposed to any changes to the existing Greenbelt. It must be protected for the health of current and future generations of Ontarians, for farmland and biodiversity, and to reduce the impacts of climate change. Read more

We need more housing but removing the green belt is not the answer. Find solutions that can keep out green space and reduce the toll on the environment. Densifying areas of the cities along with appropriate infrastructure to support the growth is what we need.

I am deeply disappointed with this provincial government's decision to allow developers to build on the Greenbelt. It is absolutely reprehensible. Sadly, it is not surprising that such an environmentally damaging decision has been made by this government.

in 2018 Premier Ford promised the Greenbelt was not to be developed, this very important area of wetlands and farmland was to be kept safe from developers looking to build expensive homes that are out the budget of most Ontarians. Read more
