  • Greenbelt Act Signals Further Erosion of Local Decision-Making
    MUNICIPAL WORLD, July 2005 PLANNING GREENBELT ACT SIGNALS FURTHER EROSION OF LOCAL DECISION-MAKING By: Shari Elliott and Marshall Green On February 24, 2005, the Government of Ontario passed the Greenbelt Act, 2005. The Act would apply to about 1.8 million acres in total including one million acres of newly protected land consisting of environmentally sensitive and agricultural land in the Golden Horseshoe. It will allow the provincial government to establish a Greenbelt Area, and a Greenbelt Plan to spell out land use policies within that area to protect against urban development and sprawl. Overview The Golden Horseshoe is one of the fast-growing regions in North America. While this growth will bring many economic benefits, it will also create significant challenges. This legislation is being enacted to assist the Golden Horseshoe’s growth to be planned, thoughtful and managed. The legislation aims to make sure that: the environment, including its water system, remains healthy and able to support both the people and wildlife; encourage growth in cities and towns outside the Greenbelt, while supporting vibrant rural communities in the Greenbelt; support agriculture; and provide outdoor recreational and leisure opportunities to the rapidly expanding population. The protection of the environment is proposed to be achieved by prohibiting new urban development on wetlands, forests and rivers in the Greenbelt. The tragedy that occurred with Walkerton’s water source has influenced this legislation with protection of water resources from development and contamination as a key goal. Focus is also on the preservation of shorelines and strengthening of the river valley connections with the Oak Ridges Moraine, the Niagara Escarpment and Lake Ontario.

  • Community Picture Report Executive Summary
    SIMCOE MUSKOKA COMMUNITY PICTURE March 2011 (revised June 2011) Prepared for the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit Produced by Dillon Consulting Limited Funded by the Government of Ontario i Community Picture Report Executive Summary Introduction In May 2009, the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion and Sport (MHPS) launched the Healthy Communities Fund (HCF) initiative, an integrated approach to improving the health of Ontarians. In 2010, the MHPS released the Healthy Communities Framework, which provides partnership opportunities for public health units, municipalities and community partners to work together to build healthy public policies and programs that make it easier for Ontarians to be healthy and promote a culture of health and well-being. The Simcoe Muskoka Healthy Communities Partnership (HCP) is one of 36 across Ontario that promotes coordinated planning and action, to create healthy public policies. The Ministry of Health Promotion and Sport requires Partnerships across the province to develop a Community Picture. The Simcoe Muskoka Healthy Communities Partnership Program (HCPP) will form the foundation from which local priorities and recommended actions across the six MHPS Healthy Communities priority areas will be identified. The purpose of the Community Picture is to inform the work of the HCP. It provides an in- depth understanding of the strengths, capacities, initiatives, opportunities and policies that have an impact on the health and well-being of residents in Simcoe County and the District of Muskoka. The Community Picture provides information on the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit’s area of coverage, including Simcoe County, the Cities of Barrie and Orillia, and the District of Muskoka.
