Saturday morning dawned cold, wet, and blustery. By noon, the rain had stopped and about 50 people braved the low temperatures and wind chill to protest the Ontario government’s intent to remove land from the Greenbelt and to implement the New Homes Built Faster Act 2022, a bill that would further erode protections for environmentally sensitive areas in the province.
Organized by Miranda Baksh of Peel Climate Council and Rahul Meta of Stop Sprawl Peel, the Brampton rally was one of the many protests that took place across the province over the weekend receiving broad media coverage.
Please refer to past blog posts for more information about the economic and environmental damage this bill will impose on Brampton.
