Proposed highway: "It boggles the mind."</h2>
<br>
The new year begins with a Toronto Star story about a proposed GTA highway described as "rewarding sprawl." The highway would connect Vaughan to Milton by slicing through protected Greenbelt lands, paving over about 2,000 acres of prime farmland in Caledon and threatening sensitive wetlands areas. It's a controversial plan as you'll read here <a href="http://foodandwaterfirst.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9cff2b25f9f35517c6d561caf&id=7d59b89056&e=1ab4e7df85" style="color:#86af00;font-weight:normal;text-decoration:underline;word-wrap:break-word!important" target="_blank">Toronto Star story.</a>

A special town hall meeting will be held at the end of the month to discuss the future of the Greenbelt and plans for a controversial airport on the Pickering Lands, a 13,000-acre swath of Class 1 farmland.

Marvellous Moraine: Under Review</h2>

It provides water for 250,000 people, is home to the highest diversity of wildlife in the Greater Toronto Area and grows healthy local food for the surrounding population of five million. The Oak Ridges Moraine is a gem and its future is under review by the province in 2015. Stand up for the Moraine and all it does for southern Ontario.

The timing could not be better! The UN's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) will spend the next year focusing on the world's soils. We treat this vital resource like dirt, but it feeds us, filters our water, stores carbon and is home to one-quarter of the world's biodiversity. The rare soils of Ontario deserve special protection for all of the above reasons. The UN's International Year of Soils will add further momentum to our movement!<br>
