Lands should not be removed from the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act. As soon as the policy is opened up for one edit, what is to stop the government from opening more of its area for development. There is ample space outside of protected areas to develop and meet the need for more housing. Read more

This proposal should not be adopted. 1.) There has been an absence of meaningful consultation with First Nations, as publicly admitted by Minister Clark. Proposed amendments to the Greenbelt Plan will have profound impacts on treaty lands across Ontario. Read more

Please leave the Greenbelt the way it is. It provides many essential functions. Floodplains and farm land for instance. New housing is vital for Ontario's future, however, higher density is the way to provide affordable housing for Ontario's growing population.

Limited clean drinking water is an abstract concept to many in Southern Ontario. We live in the fertile plain between the Oak Ridges Moraine and Lake Ontario. The Oak Ridges Moraine absorbs rainfall and snow melt to feed the rivers that flow into the lake. Read more

The housing crisis is not due to a lack of land for developing. Green space is imperative for the preservation of the escarpment and for the sustainability of our ecosystems. Please do not allow further development in the green belt!

To remove 7,400 critical acres of the Greenbelt to make way for new housing development is a flagrant breaking of Ford's government's 2018 promise to protect this life-sustaining ribbon around the GTA. Ford said:" the people have spoken. I'm going to listen to them.” Read more

I am opposed to the proposed changes to the Greenbelt Plan that would remove or redesignate 15 areas of land and add lands in the Paris Galt Moraine area, and redesignate lands in the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan. Read more

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 4. Read more

There is a climate emergency, and we need to quickly curb CO2 emissions and find mechanisms to absorb them if we are to halt the increase in severe climate events we have been experiencing as a result of global warming. Read more

This is the absolute worst decision. We need this green belt for all future generations. For our health, for clean water, flood mitigation, wildlife, at risk species, the list goes on and on. DO NOT change the zoning of this ecologically significant land please for the love of our children.

Bill 23 must be repealed in its entirety. We need to preserve our natural spaces and farmland. The lands under the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan need to be protected and there should be no development allowed on these lands. I strongly disagree with this proposal.
