YOUR NATURE, FARMLAND AND DRINKING WATER AT RISK

Ontario’s world renowned Greenbelt prevents urban sprawl and protects Ontarians’ access to local food, clean drinking water and natural areas. But as this study shows, Ontario’s Greenbelt is under threat and the Greenbelt Plan is at risk of being weakened.

In 2015, the award-winning Greenbelt and Places to Grow Plans will be reviewed by the Ontario government. These plans work together to direct affordable growth to existing cities and towns while permanently protecting nature, farmland and our water from sprawl. The 2015 review of the Greenbelt Plan is an opportunity to reduce threats and strengthen Ontario’s Greenbelt.

At the Ontario Greenbelt Alliance, our vision is for a bigger, stronger Greenbelt that protects our communities, water, forests, wildlife, and farmland and where subdivision sprawl and unnecessary development are not allowed.
