Urban Parks,Uxbridge,Canada

Ontario is working to build its next provincial park in Uxbridge. The plan comes after years of local lobbying and a fortunate patch of surplus land.

It is home to some of Ontario’s best hiking trails and biking routes, with kilometres of pristine Greenbelt land, a smattering of farmhouses and boutique local businesses.

“Then, in 2007, there was a land swap with the developer that put that in the hands of Infrastructure Ontario. And these 1,300 acres have been sitting with Infrastructure Ontario since then.”Canada’s extreme weather events are costing billions, new data shows Officials with the Ford government looked at the proposal and came up with a plan of their own. They decided to keep the land they already owned and convert it into Ontario’s first urban provincial park.

Whoever it was that pushed the idea through, Barton said it’s been on a “rapid track” since the plan was agreed.
