Short Story

We’re a non-partisan Alliance of people and groups representing hundreds of thousands of Ontarians from many different sectors. We want to build a liveable Ontario with housing and communities that are vibrant, healthy, affordable, climate resilient and surrounded by permanently protected farmland and natural areas.

Unfortunately, the Province’s reckless sprawl plans are destroying the Greenbelt, farmland, and natural areas — while worsening the housing crisis.

The next election could be just six months away and we need to reach Ontarians before then. We have a plan to reach them. Please donate now.

Story

We’ve spent almost two years creating the connections and tools Ontarians need to build a liveable Ontario. We’ve also been speaking out against the Province’s reckless sprawl plans that are destroying the Greenbelt, farmland and natural areas – while worsening the housing crisis.

But soon our voices will be silenced. 

The Premier has hinted an election may come as early as next spring. When that happens, election laws will silence our ability to communicate directly with the public. That’s why we must act now.

Housing will be at the heart of this upcoming election—and we have just six months to take action.

We need to make sure voters understand how the Province’s reckless sprawl plans are worsening the housing crisis while destroying the Greenbelt, farmland, and natural areas. At the same time, we must spread hope by promoting real solutions, like our Five Ways Home actions to make homes affordable in Ontario.

Our Three-Phase Plan:

  1. Expose the government’s ruinous housing policies.
  2. Present bold solutions.
  3. Reach millions of Ontarians before the election.

To achieve this, we need to raise $150,000 by December 1st. These funds will allow us to hire communications experts, design impactful materials, promote our message widely, and work with political leaders to endorse our solutions.

Please donate today. 

 

This project evolved from “Better Planning for the Greater Golden Horseshoe”.
