Campaigning over the past few months, many people have asked me about my stance on protecting the west end lands and the moraine. When the developments in the west end came to Council back in 2004/2005, the critical issue was to ensure that development only occurred on the lands which were suitable for development, and that the rest of the sensitive lands would be protected. However, there was no policy framework in place to ensure that this would happen.
In order to protect these lands from development I worked with the Region, the Townships and concerned citizens to put in place a land use vision which was compatible with their ecological function.
A policy framework was needed to accomplish this. The video looks at how the Laurel Creek Headwaters Environmentally Sensitive Landscape came into being.
