Our new address is:

As part of the provincial government’s raft of important planning initiatives around the time the Greenbelt was introduced, the government also headed the comments and concerns of citizens and municipalities that the battle to protect spaces and places was being lost by municipalities and their citizens at the Ontario Municipal Board.
