Greenbelt Scandal Leaves Five Communities Out of Pocket | Toronto News
Description
Five Ontario communities are still waiting for the province to reimburse them nearly $850,000 in costs incurred after the government briefly opened Greenbelt land for development — only to reverse course a year later. Durham Region, Pickering, Grimsby, Guelph, and Wellington County spent money on staff, legal fees, and consultants, but Ottawa has yet to honor its promise to cover those expenses. Opposition leaders are calling it out — saying local taxpayers are being forced to pay for the government’s misstep. Despite knowing about the costs and having a ministerial commitment to review them, no action has been taken — and the province remains silent on the status of these payments.
