Meanwhile, even though we know that Ontario is losing 319 acres of farmland per day, here is how the Province is treating prime farmland in Wellington County (and everywhere else too). 🤔 #GrowFoodInOntario #OntAg @WellFedAg @OntarioFarms @wellingtncounty @CentrWellington
Province unilaterally extends urban boundaries in Wellington County. Over 1,000 acres of farmland subject to development with modifications to OPA 119. bit.ly/42LrU6S

The proposed new Provincial Policy Statement (PPS) will force municipalities to allow up to 3 new residential lots per farm parcel and 2 accessory residential unit’s on each of these new parcels. This is a radical shift in 50 years of planning for agricultural lands in Ontario.

Add another 70 acres of farmland paved over. I find it interesting how they mention that the land was “uninhabited”, as if that’s the justification, when it was growing food.

A longtime friend & client wants to be sure his estate is in order. He has been diagnosed with a terminal illness.
This morning, he told me the hardest part isn’t that his life will be cut short.
“It’s that I’ve cut it short all my life, by taking it all for granted.”
Wow

We’re incredibly grateful for the ongoing support our community has shown us over the years! 🙏🏼
