Policy Submissions
Occasionally the Greenbelt Foundation will send submissions to the government on issues and policies that are relevant to the Greenbelt and our work, including budget and environmental registry consultations. We seek to provide insights and advice, based on our research and expertise, that will help strengthen the Greenbelt and Southern Ontario.
