"The Greenbelt is a fine enough idea, but due to the large amount of unprotected land between developed areas and the Greenbelt, and because of development leapfrogging the protected zone, sprawl will continue as if there was no Greenbelt at all, just in different parts of the province.
This could have been avoided had the Greenbelt Act been accompanied by a province-wide, revenue-neutral land value tax, which would encourage infill and walkable communities plus generate government revenue that would reduce other taxes."
The Ontario Trails Council is a registered charity, led by volunteers who promote the development, management, use and conservation of Ontario's trails. You'll find everything from gentle walking trails to rock faces for climbing and water routes to canoe and kayak.
