We are residents of a property on Glenavy Ave, located directly in the shadow of 3 proposed 35 Story condo towers, in process of approval. We believe it is preposterous for the Provincial Government to arbitrarily usurp thoughtful municipal Plans, for building sites within our City. Read more

What makes you think it is OK that OMAFRA has mapped and regulated all our farms. Limiting and constraining it to only farm land. We bought the farm not OMAFRA. Take the maps off our properties as they are already showing up when real estate agents look up our properties. Read more

It is interesting that the Province has started a review of the PPS and Places to grow. I have been advocating for years that we should not have to provide Planning Justification for our development projects that are designated in Official Plans for Development. Read more

I believe it is long overdue. In a country the size of Canada people should be able to have the dream of owning their own home. We have plenty of land to go around.
