The Waterloo Regional Official Plan (along with other Official Plans such as Wellington County’s Official Plan) are currently awaiting approval from Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing Steve Clark. A decision could come at anytime potentially forcing thousands of acres of unwanted sprawl similar to what the province has done to the Halton Region and City of Hamilton Official Plans.</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>Waterloo MPP Catherine Fife, Green Party Leader MPP Mike Schreiner, and youth advocate Lyndsay Dajka are confirmed as speakers. We want to draw attention to the new report from the Alliance for a Livable Ontario (ALO) showing that municipalities in the Greater Golden Horseshoe already have sufficient lands for twice as many housing units as the province requires under Bill 23 and that Greenbelt land removals as well as forced urban boundary expansions are totally unnecessary.</span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span><div><div> We hope that you can join us for a fun-filled hour and help send a strong message on April 2nd!
