Golden Horseshoe Map

The Ford government is proposing to remove land from Ontario's Greenbelt for development.

Who we are

Friends of the Golden Horseshoe have a vision for healthy and prosperous communities throughout the region. 

We want

leadership at the provincial and municipal levels to stop sprawl and highway led growth - support for a livable, affordable region, with good local jobs, more housing and transportation choices, clean water resources, farmland and a protected Greenbelt.

We know

removing land from Ontario's Greenbelt, sprawling over prime farmland and building more highways like the 413 won’t improve our quality of life, make housing more affordable, or reduce emissions. We don't want our provincial government to condemn the Golden Horseshoe to more congestion, costly sprawl, higher taxes and uncontrollable climate change”.

Join us to demand a better future.
We can make a difference!

Growth in the Golden Horsehoe

“Highway 413 would take Ontario backwards. Let’s not use our tax dollars to pave over part of the Greenbelt. We need to invest in healthy livable cities, not unaffordable sprawl. Protect the Greenbelt and Ontario’s future.”
