The Greenbelt preserves some of the best agricultural land in Canada, which in turn provides an assortment of produce to Ontario.
The lakes and rivers in the Greenbelt provide clean drinking water for millions of people and provide important habitat for wildlife, while the protected trees and plants help filter air pollution, producing clean oxygen for the various regions.
