On May 10, the Ministry of Municipal Affairs and the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry released proposed changes to four land use plans: Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe, the Greenbelt Plan, the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan and the Niagara Escarpment Plan.

The province is seeking feedback on the proposed changes until September 30, 2016. 12 public open houses were  planned across the Greater Golden Horseshoe and Niagara Escarpment Plan Area to provide an opportunity to learn more about the proposed changes to the four plans. You are invited to attend one of the remaining public open houses: 

A star (*) indicates Public Open Houses where French language materials will also be displayed.

Ministry staff will be on site to answer questions about the proposed changes to the plans. No registration is required.

If you have a personal accommodation requirement, please contact them by email at landuseplanningreview@ontario.ca or telephone at 1-800-665-1120 at least three days in advance of the Public Open House that you plan to attend.

Please visit  www.ontario.ca/landuseplanningreview  to find Shaping Land Use in the Greater Golden Horseshoe, a guide to proposed changes to the land use plans and the four proposed revised plans.
