Parks Canada warns of ‘irreversible harm’ if Ontario proceeds with Greenbelt development:
Ontario hasn’t yet consulted Parks Canada about the removals, said the letter, dated Nov. 29 and signed by Omar McDadi, a field unit superintendent at Rouge National Urban Park. If Ontario goes ahead with the changes to the Greenbelt, it would violate that agreement and likely hurt Rouge National Urban Park, species at risk and farmland, Parks Canada said.
“We request a meeting with the province … to discuss the Greenbelt land removal and development proposal at your earliest convenience,” the letter closed.
