THANK YOU!
To our dedicated base of support, for all YOU have done to secure a hard urban boundary for Halton through 2041.
This round is over, but the job is never done. There are now no less than seven Stop Sprawl groups, who are working together as the Stop Sprawl Ontario Coalition, to raise awareness and educate about the dangers of losing our farmland and wild spaces. Now more than ever we need to preserve what little we have left.
Put your signs away, but keep them handy, we may well need them if the Ontario government decides to challenge our democratically chosen Official Plan, and send it to the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) to be overturned.
Pop back to our home page from time to time, or follow us on social media, to keep up with any late breaking news or common-cause updates. We are sure to see more from Stop Sprawl Ontario!
Have you heard the lie?

Ken Greenberg addresses the Southern Ontario Growth Conference, Feb 23 2022
Recording of Feb. 15th Online Rally
Listen to Councillors Fogal and Best discuss the Burton/Meed Ward motion and their amendment
Then Chris Krucker, (National Farmers Union Rep for Hamilton and Halton Region) & Phil Pothen (Land Use Planning Lawyer - Environmental Defence) give their professional perspectives.
Why we don't need to grow the urban boundary in Halton:
There's already enough land approved for continued urban growth in Halton
Once it's gone, it's gone for good: Prime agricultural land cannot be recaptured or relocated
Suburban sprawl costs us all: Low density housing costs taxpayers, while gentle density saves money
Low density development lines private pockets and depletes public coffers
Suburban Sprawl costs us ALL!
STOP SPRAWL HALTON'S goal is to promote Gentle Density to save tax dollars and municipal resources!
