Save the Greenbelt and Protect Our Drinking Water

Ontario’s Greenbelt is the recipe for fresh air, clean water, healthy local food, active outdoor recreation, and a thriving economy. At almost 2 million acres, it’s the world’s largest permanently protected Greenbelt, keeping our farmlands, forests, wetlands safe and sustainable.

Premier Doug Ford promised to protect the Greenbelt but his proposed “Open for Business” Act (Bill 66) will put new factories and sprawl in the Greenbelt and other sensitive farmland, forests and watersheds.

Bill 66 also allows new development to bypass the Clean Water Act, the Great Lakes Protection Act and the Lake Simcoe Act, putting our drinking water at risk.
