Research into Greenbelt Impacts - Unusual Source

Here’s some unusual news about some artists who have responded creatively to the Greenbelt legislation.
Artists Michelle Teitsma, Kim Rempel and Jan Yates have been working for over a year on a project examining the Greenbelt legislation in southern Ontario. Their combined body of work challenges preconceptions and presents a diverse and compelling exploration of the Greenbelt, they claim.
“In our research we predicted opposition to the legislation by developers,” says Jan Yates, “but we were not prepared for the resistance of farmers and growers to the law’s imposed constraints on their land, in effect telling them what they could and could not do with it.”
