Your Say</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>Good morning GREN folks,
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Today, October 31st is the final day to speak up and provide your
feedback to the provincial government on the proposed amendments to the
Co-ordinated Review of the Greenbelt, Niagara Escarpment and Oak Ridges
Moraine Conservation Plans as well as the Growth Plan (Places to Grow
Act).</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>We need to tell the provincial government to expand the Greenbelt to the
Grand River Watershed to reinforce our local protections such as the Waterloo
Region Protected Countryside and Countryside Line. We also need to speak
up in support of SmartGrowth, less urban sprawl, and more sustainable planning
practices.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>If you only have a minute please sign and this pre-written letter (that
you can edit) to the minister and key officials at:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>

<DIV>If you have specific concerns or points you would like to reinforce you
can e-mail your comments and feedback to:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV><A
href="mailto:landuseplanningreview@ontario.ca">landuseplanningreview@ontario.ca</A><BR><BR>You
can also upload any documents, maps, or letters you may have directly to the
the Ministry of Municipal Affairs website at:<BR><BR><A
href="http://www.mah.gov.on.ca/Page14851.aspx">http://www.mah.gov.on.ca/Page14851.aspx</A><BR><BR><BR></DIV>
<DIV>We have a provincial government that seems motivated to take action and
listen to the environmental community. They need to hear from us and see
firsthand that thousands of people want better environmental protection and
smarter growth. Please pass this e-mail along to others asking them to
act today and please be sure to speak up now to ensure that we have the best
possible future quality of life in our region.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>Cheers,<BR>Kevin.<BR></DIV>
