Across the Greater Golden Horseshoe developers and land speculators are lobbying provincial and local governments to put sprawl-style development on precious natural areas, farmland, and water sources in and around the Greenbelt.
We are the Ontario Greenbelt Alliance, a network of environmental and community groups across Ontario dedicated to protect and expand the world-famous Greenbelt. We’re doing this by pushing back against sprawl and demanding more Greenbelt-friendly sustainable communities.
