Municipal Leaders for the Greenbelt

As a protected and carefully managed green space wrapping around the most densely populated urban region in the country, the Greenbelt makes a major contribution to the health and livability of our cities and towns. That’s why urban leaders from two dozen municipalities have signed our pledge to support the permanent protection of the Greenbelt. They are committed to:

• Supporting the Greenbelt as a permanent feature of Ontario’s landscape and commit to maintaining the boundaries of the Greenbelt;
• Encouraging the development of Natural Heritage Systems in every community that links to the Greenbelt; and,
• Ensuring that planning decisions influencing the Greenbelt adhere to the Greenbelt Plan.

We want you... to be a Greenbelt leader!

If you are a Mayor or Councillor, email us at greenbelt@environmentaldefence.ca and join our list of farsighted municipal leaders.
