  • Ontario Climate Emergency Coalition

    • "Bill 23 has not been developed with a climate lens in mind.  Developing housing on the
      Greenbelt will result in loss of carbon sinks in wetlands, forest, and farmland. New homes should meet a higher building standard and should be heated and cooled without fossil fuels. Such homes are no more expensive to build, more comfortable to live in and less expensive to operate." read more
