Premier Doug Ford has promised over and over again to protect the Greenbelt, but late on Friday, November 4th, his government quietly dropped a plan to carve out 7,400 acres of land from the Greenbelt!

The government says they will replace the lost land with land elsewhere – but many of the proposed additions are already protected. In fact, the proposed expansion of the Greenbelt on the Paris-Galt Moraine will add less than 2000 acres for protection.

Furthermore, even if those lands weren’t already protected, the very possibility of taking any land out of the Greenbelt will undermine its effectiveness by creating an open season on farmland for land speculators and sprawl developers.

Doug Ford must keep His Promise and keep his hands OFF the Greenbelt!
