Stand up for the Greenbelt & affordable housing for all! Stand up for nature!  Come out to Minister Mike Ford's office to fight Bill 23 & 39

1832 Weston Rd

Right now we are very concerned about the implications of Bill 23 both for our city and for the province as a whole. Bill 23 will have a huge impact on Toronto including:- loss of $230 million in revenue needed for infrastructure and city services, primarily from lost development charges, - loss of security for renters through the removal of tenant protections. - the gutting of green building standards- cutting in half the amount of parkland that developers are required to allocate to support new developments- the destruction of farmland that provides food security- the loss of the wetlands and greenbelt lands that protect the city from flooding and conserve biodiversity- the elimination of the powers of Toronto conservation authorities to assess environmental impacts.While affordable housing is needed, Bill 23 will not build the needed housing in the places where it is needed. Indeed, it will reduce funds required to build affordable housing and eliminate protections for renters. Rather than sprawl, we need intensification in urban areas within Toronto's boundaries.The climate implications of Bill 23 will take us backwards, with increased carbon emissions due to commuting and the loss of natural carbon sinks. And it will make it impossible for the City to fully implement its award-winning TransformTO Net-Zero Strategy. So we are mobilizing a rally in York S. Weston to bring our concerns to the attention of Mike Ford and his staff. Please join us!DATE AND TIME:Monday November 28, 12:30 pm1832 Weston Rd. City of York (Toronto)
