Our Family owns a farm of around 125 acres in Dufferin County, on a main county road. Our hope has been to sever a small 1-2 acre site off of the farm (which not more than 1-2%) of the farm, so that we may build another home for our family. Read more

Please do not build on the Greenbelt. Please do not put creeks into culverts. Please do not build over wetlands, creeks, forests, or other natural areas. Please do not build more highways. Instead, please create more transit and build in already built up areas.

We need more flexibility for our children! They’re unable to afford their own homes and building on our family farm (like my husband and I did) is unattainable due to the severance laws. Read more

This planning policy is based on a number of unrealistic assumptions about future transportation demands by mode, especially given the impact of Covid 19 on transit trip making, and our ability to dramatically increase the supply of new houses. Read more

Much of the PPS proposal is admirable as far as addressing current municipal/provincial problems. In perusing the content of PPS, we find sorely missing the extremely important concepts of conservation and sustainability. Read more
