The New and Improved Ontario Greenbelt Alliance Website!
Say hello to a new and improved Ontario Greenbelt Alliance (OGA) website. Today, on the 7th Birthday of the Greenbelt, we are launching a new and improved OGA website. The site now has a fresh new look, more content including a new blog feature, and more ways to get involved.

Growth Plan Amendment for Simcoe County Fails to Innovate
The Amendment is hailed as a win for developers and the County, and signals that the province has tired of trying to curb Simcoe's taste for rapid, uncoordinated growth of low-density bedroom communities. Read more from Claire Malcolmson’s blog about the growth plan amendment.
