Few warnings have the impact and clarity like the one that can be found on the last page of the Simcoe County Greenbelt Coalition’s (SCGC) information package that promotes the benefits of expanding the Greenbelt.  what happens to our environment happens as well to us and our community," it says the local organization has attempted to cut through all of the clutter to deliver what the boxing world would call ‘the knockout punch’ — a claim so direct and accurate there’s virtually no room to debate it At an education/information session Sunday afternoon presented by the Facebook group Engaging Residents of Oro-Medonte and held at the Oro-Medonte Community Arena a few dozen area residents turned out to hear what they can do to ensure the long-term health of their communities “We’re here as part of a four-part series about how the Greenbelt can be beneficial to water security in Simcoe County,” said Margaret Prophet We had one in Tiny Township about two weeks ago and we’re going to have another one in Alliston and then up towards Clearview “We’re talking specifically about the Oro Moraine and how important it is not only to the residents of Oro-Medonte but to the greater water security in Simcoe County and how we can make sure that we can have places that provide our water provide us with recreation and tourism dollars and make sure our communities are livable," she added.  Rather than direct the conversation with traditional talking points the organizers of the afternoon session put the direction and onus of the conversation on those who attended Prophet and her session ‘facilitators’ encouraged the residents to share their values “We find that residents really know their communities best,” Prophet said “We’re trying to have a conversation about how the Greenbelt can be beneficial for them to kind of cue into their own concerns about water security.” At one of the 'break-out’ tables the discussion ranged from how folks got their water the value of wetlands in the community and the impacts of aggregate mining to the urbanization of rural areas allowed residents to keep their concerns top of mind so when the Greenbelt’s 10-year statutory review is held sometime later this year they’ll have their input prepared and ready to go the province designated Simcoe County as a high priority for Greenbelt expansion because urbanization was threatening water security “Growth pressures were kind of overwhelming the water table and it was written about in various reports,” Prophet said “So that was a proposal that was trying to figure out how do we keep the moraine and the watershed “It’s a balancing act versus an erasure of one over the other,” she added Understanding there are competing priorities at work is essential to building the right plan but it only works if everyone is using the same factual information “The government’s responsibility really should be ‘we’re making decisions based on the evidence,'” Prophet said I don’t know if they necessarily lie we have forgotten that evidence matters.” She compared the government’s actions to an individual making an insurance claim after a car crash you have to tell them what the value of the vehicle is how badly damaged it is and you have to have receipts to back it up,” Prophet said She said she’s made numerous presentations that have been criticized by government decision-makers because they don’t like the facts — not that they disagree with them “The presentation I did today is a short version of what I would normally do,” Prophet said “It kind of feels a little bit like I’m going to depress you but I really need you to understand what the baseline is here." She gets that she’s not delivering good news but that doesn’t sway her commitment “This is civics engagement 101,” Prophet said Who’s got your interests at heart?  People need to know that someone’s going to listen to them.” (West Duwamish Greenbelt Trails Groupfile photo) Your role in a vision for Seattle’s largest stretch of remaining forest was the largest topic at this month’s gathering of HPAC Police had updates too during the meeting at Delridge Library RIDGE TO RIVER: While this initiative is being reinvigorated, it’s not new. Paul West, who said he had lived in the area for 25 years, explained that Ridge to River was inaugurated in 2019 “to make more connections between the Longhouse and the nearby neighborhoods,” particularly through the West Duwamish Greenbelt a “four-mile-long corridor along the Duwamish River,” stretching south to White Center “We’re in the process of introducing people to the greenbelt … our goal is to make people fall in love with the greenbelt …it has a lot of existing . That love would be accompanied by community connections, West continued. Ridge to River has in its sights the entire stretch, north to south, especially underserved neighborhoods. And as a centerpiece, it’s the historical home of the Duwamish Tribe “They don’t just think that their ancestors are in the greenbelt they KNOW their ancestors are in the greenbelt.” And now is prime time to get more people involved with the land As for Ridge to River, “We’re just getting up and running,” including their new website the first trail that will connect to the longhouse West said they expect the first phase to take about two years to roll out and then next year they’ll ask the community for opinions to refine the draft plan shaping it into a final version they hope the city will adopt for the area About a dozen organizations are directly involved But this isn’t just about a plan; after one is finalized there’ll be another phase to turn it into reality What about volunteer opportunities? asked an attendee. “There are groups running volunteer events right now!” said Borsenik; West had noted that the area’s been part of the Green Seattle Partnership efforts for ~20 years Who owns the land? another asked. Answer: Primarily multiple city departments, plus adjacent South Seattle College (WSB sponsor) A variety of issues then bubbled into the discussion – from the long-running kiln-dust contamination in part of the area to “sketchy people,” to a shipping container that’s long been in the forest for storage (Borsenik said “we’ve been trying to get it out of there”) Kirkpatrick also introduced an attendee she’d invited owner of a nearby building that’s being revived as an event venue who had temporarily activated a trail through the greenbelt between his property and the SSC parking lot rented for a recent event the ones there now were built without a central plan/vision so might not be optimally located and some areas don’t have access at all “activate it and that’ll get more people interested” was a prevailing sentiment Watch for opportunities – starting with the survey next month (We’ll of course publish that announcement here when it’s available.) The meeting started, as many community-coalition meetings do, with an update from Seattle Police WHAT’S NEXT: HPAC meets fourth Wednesdays most months – time and location might vary, so check the coalition’s new website, hpaction.org Love that people are talking about activating the greenbelt but I would not go back alone. Making the longhouse accessible by foot maybe even a pedestrian bridge to the shoreline is in order (but realistically The trailhead just north of the Longhouse on the map is in the Longhouse parking lot It’s just a steeper trail towards the end No campers near that I’ve noticed north of the college since about 2022 Wonderful that green space like this exist.  Idea It would be a treat for them to learn about their area and take ownership. Keep up the good work Δdocument.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value" Please enter your username or e-mail address You will receive a new password via e-mail President Donald Trump holds a cabinet meeting at the White House.

agricultural production containing some of Ontario’s best farmland and playing a critical role in the province’s agri-food security it represents a significant share of Ontario’s total arable land The region is home to Ontario’s only two specialty crop areas—the Holland Marsh and the Niagara Tender Fruit and Grape Area—where fertile soils and unique climate conditions allow for the cultivation of high-value crops not commercially viable elsewhere Greenbelt farms and agricultural operations contribute disproportionately to Ontario’s food production yielding high volumes of fruits and vegetables per acre With over 269,000 acres of farmland in fruit production—52.6% of all Ontario’s fruit acreage—the Greenbelt provides the majority of the province’s fresh fruit supply it hosts over 2,000 acres of vegetable production accounting for 10.7% of Ontario’s total vegetable acreage These farms not only sustain local markets but also contribute to a resilient and diverse food system that benefits
