This is an exciting time for the Greenbelt. In May 2017, the Greenbelt grew to include 21 major urban river valleys and associated coastal wetlands across the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH), protecting these critical hydrological connections between Lake Ontario and the rural lands of the Greenbelt.
In the City of Toronto, the Don and Humber Rivers and Etobicoke Creek now benefit from this protection, and we've teamed up with the Toronto Environmental Alliance to celebrate! Join us at one of these great events:
The Don River
The Don River and the people who have lived and worked on it have been key to Toronto’s food and water systems for thousands of years. This tour focuses on the community gardens, immigrant communities, and Indigenous peoples that have shaped and been shaped by the Don Watershed. (Walking tour by Rivers Rising).
