Why in the world would you consider sacrificing farmland?
THIS is the GOLDILOCK zone- Southern Ontario.
Longest list of crops grown in North America except California which has to transport water to their crops. -Mark Kruesser

Ontario is under attack and the Federal Government should quickly re-designate Highway 413 for Impact Assessment under an updated Impact Assessment Act. environmentaldefence.ca/2024… via @envirodefence #Stopthe413 #StopSprawl

If you're concerned that this MOU-which does not affect the re-designation of Highway 413 for federal Impact Assessment-presages an intention NOT to re-designate, the best thing to do is keep up the pressure on MPs. Start w @EnviroDefence's online action! act.environmentaldefence.ca/…
The Canada-Ontario MOU regarding evaluation of proposals regarding Highway 413 does NOT prevent Canada from re-designating & @EnviroDefence - & voters who care about the environment, still expect - & demand 413 be re-redesignated under the new, revised Impact Assessment Act.

As the last few months have shown, Ontarians are proud of, and care passionately for their #Greenbelt and the 2 million acres of protected farmlands, forests & wetlands.

The past year reminded some of our member groups of the fight decades ago to save the Niagara Escarpment + Oak RIdges Moraine. What was so wonderful this time was people rallied across the Ontario. #❤️Greenbelt #HandsOffTheGreenbelt
Today we want to thank each community member, partner & citizen who gave voice to the necessity of permanently protecting the #Greenbelt. The possibilities for Ontario's future with a secure Greenbelt are endless; climate-resilient communities, access to local food & more. ✨

We are thrilled to see the ON government has reversed its decision to allow development in the #Greenbelt, safeguarding precious agricultural lands for the future. However, our mission is far from over. There is much more to to do. bit.ly/3OtDb5W

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this movement! The #GreenbeltGrab battle has been won, but the war against backroom deals and private influence over land use planning is not. More to come!
