This is remarkable public service journalism from @WR_Record in how it distills a regional staff report on the dangers of suburban expansions on KW's western edges, and the profound impacts it will have on our water supply.🧵 therecord.com/news/waterloo-…
13 former #WatReg councillors and mayors agree: now, more than ever, we need to hold on to the Countryside Line despite attempts to pave over farmland and groundwater. Happy that we at Hold The Line WR were able to mobilize support from politicians of va… ift.tt/yiGAU7T
NEW: Open letter signed by the councillors who created and defended the Countryside Line. It urges the province to extend the #Greenbelt to #WatReg, and local councils to continue the smart growth policies that have served us well for over 20 years. therecord.com/opinion/open-l…

Developers, land speculators and urban planners laid waste to the Region of Waterloo's smart growth plan. #smargrowth #urbanaffairs #Ontario #HousingCrisis #sprawl #bill162 #RegionofWaterloo #Kitchener #Cambridge #Waterloo #realestate therecord.com/news/waterloo-…
New Democrats, Greens, Federal Liberals and environmentalists have all taken up the cause of Wilmot Township farmers who fear expropriation by Region of Waterloo. #wilmot #regionofwaterloo #fightforfarmland #expropriation #bill162 therecord.com/news/waterloo-…
"We should be lobbying hard when that comes up, in 2025, to expand the Greenbelt to Waterloo Region, so that we can be included under its protective umbrella. "It may not be as strong as what we had before. But it’s a whole lot better than nothing." therecord.com/opinion/column…
🚨Ontario agriculture is an economic powerhouse that feeds & fuels the economy. With nearly 50,000 farms and 11.7 million acres of farmland, we contribute annually: - $47 billion in GDP - $20 billion in annual agri-food exports - 750,000+ jobs #OFAatQP #FarmsFoodForever #ontag
My article from Nov 2021: Wilmot residents delegated at the Region of Waterloo meeting and urged council to protect farm land. “Only 5% Ontario’s landmass is suitable for agriculture,” said New Dundee’s Mark Reusser. commonsensedesign.net/newsArticle.ph…
Landowners still in limbo on Wilmot land assembly plan therecord.com/news/waterloo-…
This is productive, high-quality #Farmland we are talking about. All the general farm organizations are in agreement here @NFUOntario @OntarioFarms @CFFOnt #NoFarmlandNoFood #NoFarmersNoFood

Why is the Region of Waterloo demanding that six farmers in Wilmot sell their 770 acres of property to make way for an industrial project — when there is already lots of other land elsewhere, already designated for large industrial projects? therecord.com/opinion/column…
"The countryside line that Waterloo Region Council worked so hard to enact has been secretly breached."

Farmers, farm groups condemn expropriation threat to farmland in Wilmot township. farmtario.com/news/farmers-f…
“More than 750,000 Ontarians, or 1 in 10 of the province’s labour force, is already working in the agri-food supply chain. Further, farming contributes more than 6% of Ontario’s total GDP, to the tune of almost $49 billion.” @farwell_WR #FarmersFeedCities

Farms are businesses. These farms bring jobs, & FOOD to our community and beyond. How would these business people feel if it were their businesses being threatened? Shall we ask them to sacrifice their land? #NoFarmersNoFood #NoFarmlandNoFood kitchener.citynews.ca/2024/04/05/loc…
And how long until this new plant is used as an excuse to sprawl out further?

"It also leaves one wondering: Why we go through the exercise of planning extensively for our own community when that plan can be so easily ignored?"

If the Region of Waterloo really needed large shovel-ready greenfield industrial parcels, why was that not in the Regional Official Plan?
