What good is allowing new farmers to build a house on the farms they’re taking over if they can’t sever the land and own it? How are they supposed to do that?

Hello, We have a plot of land in New Tecumseth that had a dwelling and barn once upon a time. The land is serviced. There is still a well. It cannot be farmed. In short, it is the perfect place for me and my family to live and work on the family farm we’re taking over. Read more

Please consider allowing 10 acre parcels to subdivide land even if farmers say no. This would allow for more opportunities for housing for residents in our community.

The proposal to change the wording of the PPS with regard to cultural heritage resources is unnecessary and will have a detrimental affect on cultural heritage resource conservation efforts. We will lose significant resources as a direct result of these changes. Read more

This proposal is despicable. Too bad Ford is in the back pocket of his developer cronies. His government is a disgrace and will be removed next election. Shame on any of you who enable his autocratic, anti-democratic agenda. He is out to destroy history in this province.

I agree that three severances is too many but I don't think you should keep the rules at 0. Let's meet half way and say 1 severance per farm. And keep that severance in the family. Read more

I live north of Uxbridge. We want to be able to subdivide our 10 acres into 3 parcels so we can build and sell off a house to help pay down the mortgage. This should be allowed since there is house poverty in the north too. Read more
