Your government has said you’re trying to help farmers allow their adult children build homes and raise families on their family farms… what we need are severances.

In order to build 1.5 million houses, the province needs to update its official land use and planning policies ASAP. Sprawl, easing up permits on aggregate mining, all the tools in your disposal

As a 30 year resident of Peel Township (now part of Mapleton) I understand and value the preservation of contiguous prime agricultural and environmentally sensitive land. I also believe that restricting farming practices primarily because of neighbouring residential development is unproductive. Read more
