As outlined in the document below it is felt that all three options are insufficient and overly complicated. A 4th Growth Option has been proposed and we hope that you will speak up in favour of it with its simple intensification approach, consistency with the Smart Growth path we are already on, and no farmland loss.</div><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Regional Staff are expected to present a preferred Growth Option at their June 15th meeting which could either be a progressive option like #3 or #4 with intensification and no farmland loss or a a regressive option resulting in thousands of acres of farmland destroyed forever. We all need to speak up for the best possible outcomes - particularly if we are to meet any of our climate change goals.</div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class=""><b class="">1) Option #4 - Full Document and Summary Document</b></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""></div></div></body></html>
