Celebrating the Greenbelt's 5th Anniversary

On February 28, 2010 Ontario’s Greenbelt celebrated its 5th anniversary.

The Greenbelt permanently protects precious lands and supports a healthier environment for all Ontarians.

By protecting 1.8 million acres of sensitive land from development, the Greenbelt protects the water we drink and the air we breathe. It also means that farmers can continue to grow the food we eat closer to home.

Ontarians and visitors alike enjoy the Greenbelt’s many recreation opportunities, including its trails and parklands.
