More than 80 percent Canadians live in cities with almost one-quarter of country’s total population living in the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) area. The GGH stretches in a curve around the western side of Lake Ontario with the City of Toronto occupying the northern side of the horseshoe.

For example, the need for housing and residential infrastructure conflicts directly with the need to preserve prime agricultural lands.

Dit rapport bevat een evaluatie van de rol van provincies bij de functiewijziging van landbouwgronden naar gronden met een functie natuur, als onderdeel van de omslag in het Natuurbeleid. Hierbij worden minder gronden voor natuur verworven voor beheer door terreinbeherende organisaties, en meer gronden door particulieren in beheer genomen. Via documentanalyse en interviews met provincies is geanalyseerd hoe ze deze omslag vormgeven en zijn conclusies getrokken over de kansrijkheid van de omslag.
