The Toronto Greenbelt is a
broad band of permanently protected land which:
- Protects against the loss
and fragmentation of the agricultural land base and supports agriculture
as the predominant land use;
- Gives permanent protection
to the natural heritage and water resource systems that sustain ecological
and human health and that form the environmental framework around which
major urbanization in south-central Ontario will be organized; and
- Provides for a diverse range
of economic and social activities associated with rural communities,
agriculture, tourism, recreation and resource uses.
This is one of the largest green belts of its kind.
