A statement letter was posted by OFA and other farming groups not in favour of bill 97 because in your proposal you allow farms to severe off 3 lots and they say that will further degrade farm land. They do not represent the actual farmers. Read more

Further, land that is considered a specialty crop but hasn’t been farmed in decades needs to be considered for expansion. My children can’t afford to buy a house yet we own half a street. When we approached the municipality we were told 50K just to apply and it won’t be approved. Read more

As a young person, registered professional planner, and someone who is fully aware of the housing crisis, the changes to farm severances will be horrible for animal agriculture. The lands needed to provide for a lot without full services is 3-5x a serviced lot. Read more

KEEP FARMLAND AS FARMLAND AND PARKLAND AS PARKLAND. KEEP URBAN DEVELOPMENT INSIDE EXISTING URBAN BOUNDARIES SO AS TO PROTECT THE LOCAL FOOD SUPPLY AND RECREATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR RELAXATION. WE NEED TO PRODUCE OUR OWN FOOD AND, ONCE THE HARD WORK IS DONE, WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO RELAX SOMEWHERE. Read more

Remove Prime Ag maps and designations PAA. We were never notified and we have always had a rural land designation being in a rural/urban farm. These maps are detrimental to the value of our farm that we have paid for. Read more

Allowing 3 severances on a farm is beyond terrible. It is making lots available only to the wealthy, does nothing for affordable housing and creates a nightmare source of conflict between farmers and their entitled neighbours. Read more

First of all I would like to congratulate this provincial government for all the changes it is making. As a farmer in a urban rural municipality bill 23 will help to reduce red tape. Read more

I am deeply concerned about some of the proposed changes in this provincial planning statement that will lead to an expansion of urban sprawl and the loss of irreplaceable agricultural land. Read more

With the rising cost of food and the environmental impact of transporting food long distances it is more important than ever to preserve Ontarios farmland!

I do not agree with Bill 97 and Proposed Provincial Planning Statement. The fragmenting of farmland is not acceptable. I do not support policies that will increase residential lot creation in prime agricultural areas or in rural areas that are actively farmed. Read more
