Act now to protect Montreal’s green spaces
17/02/2016 by Bal
Montreal’s goal: 10% green space
Montreal’s reality: 5.8% protected green space
We urge the city to set a 10-year moratorium on developing Montreal’s green spaces.
Sign the petition here.
Montreal is on the road to falling short of its goal of preserving 10% of its land as green space. It has been one year since the target was set in the Montréal Urban Agglomeration Land Use and Development Plan
About 5.8% of Montreal land is protected natural space, leaving the city at risk of failing to meet the Urban Plan’s objective. (p. 78, “La majorité des territoires d’intérêt écologique sont concentrés à l’intérieur d’aires protégées, lesquelles représentent, en 2014, 5,8 % de la surface terrestre de l’agglomération.”)
Local environmental groups are acting now to help the city keep its objectives.
