The Greenbelt, Wasaga Beach, now protected land in Port Hope. We should all be concerned that our environment is being sacrificed for insider profits.

Ontario Greens will keep fighting to protect our farmland and green spaces.

Greens are fighting for families on Family Day and everyday.

We know that life has only been getting harder for families under the last seven years of Ford.

We're restoring fairness and making life easier for families trying their best to get by.

Cut income taxes for households making under 100K

Increase affordable child care spaces by addressing the shortage and retention of early childhood educators by immediately increasing wages for child care workers

Address surging grocery prices by introducing strict anti-gouging and collusion laws to stop grocery corporations from gouging people on their grocery bills

Save families up to $150,000 on the purchase of their first home, by removing fees and taxes”

Yesterday we announced the Ontario Greens Grow Ontario plan for rural Ontario.

Ontario Greens know our farmland is one of Ontario's greatest strengths. We also know that once we've paved it over we can't get it back.

A graphic with the text:

1.Help farmers protect their businesses and bottom lines by offering funding to expand business risk management programs by $150 million to secure Ontario’s food supply.

2.Permanently protect Ontario’s farmland through the development of an Ontario Foodbelt.

3.Create an AgTech Innovation Fund to support innovation in the food and farming sector.

A graphic that says:

4.Prioritize Ontario-grown food by developing local procurement guidelines for public sector purchases, establish a fund to increase local processing capacity and invest in local food hubs to support local farmers, supply chains and businesses.

5.Protect farmland by stopping urban sprawl. We can build homes without paving over the farmland that feeds us.
