Advisory Committee

The Foundation is dedicated to promoting and sustaining the Greenbelt as a beneficial, valuable, and permanent feature, enhancing the quality of life for all residents of Ontario. The Foundation's vision is a vibrant and healthy Greenbelt with a protected and restored natural environment, a strong and successful rural countryside, a robust agricultural sector, and a pattern of urban settlement that supports the Greenbelt.

The Foundation is a grant-making organization. Grant proposals are reviewed by Foundation staff, by an external Advisory Committee and by the Board of Directors. The Foundation is committed to achieving its primary goals and thus reviews applications with an eye towards specific outcomes.

Currently the Advisory Committee is made up of the following experts:

Jason Thorne, planningAlliance

Jenn Miller, Consultant, non-profit and philanthropic sectors
