Created by legislation in February 2005, the Greenbelt protects our countryside from urban development and sprawl and encourages sustainable growth within surrounding cities. The Greenbelt's locally grown food, clean water resources, climate-regulating forests, and incredible biodiversity makes it vital to preserving the quality of life in southern Ontario.
