Greenbelt Funds Still Missing for Ontario Cities | Toronto News
Description
Ontario municipalities are stuck waiting for promised reimbursements after the province scrapped Greenbelt development plans — Pickering, Guelph, and Durham Region all still haven’t seen the funds meant to cover their planning and staffing costs. The fiasco triggered investigations from the Integrity Commissioner and Auditor General, who found key sites were pushed by the Housing Minister’s chief of staff, not government staff — leading to resignations and a full reversal. While Ottawa, Waterloo, and Peel chose not to ask for money, focusing instead on partnerships and growth solutions, the RCMP probe into land deals remains active with no public updates. This messy situation leaves local governments financially strained as they try to move forward.
