Experience the Greenbelt

Ontario’s Greenbelt is 2 million acres of protected farmland, forests, wetlands, rivers, and lakes in the Greater Golden Horseshoe, one of the fastest growing regions in North America. The protection and prosperity of Ontario’s Greenbelt is critical if we are to continue meeting the needs of our growing province for generations to come.
