[GREN-Exec] Fwd: How to Speak Up to Support Growing the Greenbelt - A Webinar

Sun Mar 7 12:52:14 EST 2021

Hi GREN Executive,

Thanks for the call on Friday to discuss some of the Greenbelt challenges and opportunities before us.  I will have updates on what we spoke about later today.  In the meantime below is an event that CELA is running for some of the Brantford groups this coming Wednesday evening.  

There is an opportunity for us to do something like this with CELA in Waterloo Region should we desire.  Time is of the essence though and it seems that with only weeks to respond to Ford’s proposal we don’t have much lead time.  I wonder if our time would be better spent on our own response than trying to educate others.

Cheers,
Kevin.

> 
> Background: The Greenbelt provides permanent protection to the agricultural land base and the ecological and hydrological features, areas and functions. Ontario’s Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing is seeking feedback <https://lconserv.us19.list-manage.com/track/click?u=3a0f06261553e65f4199708dc&id=c801ac7f14&e=998b51e52b> on ways to grow the size and further enhance the quality of the Greenbelt, with a priority of:
> 
> 1.    A study area of lands focussed on the Paris Galt Moraine, which is home to critical groundwater resources
> 
> 2.    Ideas for adding, expanding and further protecting Urban River Valleys
> 
> A large portion of the Grand River Watershed is left out of the protection of the Greenbelt.
