SLICED COOKED HAM Our Reg. 4.59 /x\ Restrictions on urban growth. proposed GUELPH - Proposed tighter restrictions on urban development on prime foodland have received strong endorsement from the Christian Farmers Federation of Ontario (CFFO). In a statement the Federation has endorsed most of the new requirements in the Foodland Preservation Policy State- ment announced by the Minister of Agriculture and Food and the Minister of Municipal Affairs. However, the Federation cautions that the initiative will not be enough to get most of Ontario's urban development off foodland. Many of the initiatives are long overdue according to CFFO President, Tom' egeeitil?"Since the rnid''70's' we'ha're'beeii`."' `-' 1,6alliiig• for the removal of our aiitor tic.,' right as farmers to sever lots," f'.:gema said. "All severances should mee. die same tests of good planning. The Federation wants all severances limited to marginal land and be far enough from intensive livestock operations so that conflict with non-farm residents will be minimized. Bill Jongejan, CFFO Vice -President and Chairman of its Foodland Stewardship Com- mittee, supports 'the new policy because it - puts teeth into the largely ignored eight- year-old Foodland Guidelines. In addition to tighter severance rules he . noted that: •marginal land will be designated for non-agricultural uses; •a ten- year limit will be placed on committing land for future urban development; •a stronger justification criteria have been established, and •a better approach is provided to keep house's away from intensive livestock enterprises.' Elbert van Donkersgoed, Research and Policy Director, is not optimistic that the. new policy, all by itself,. will steer urban development away from foodland. "This policy will nbt replace the urgent need for citizens, and especially farmers, to speak for the land in the planning process," van Donkersgoed Said. "The Foodland Guidelines,. during, its 8 -year lifetime, did not significantly change the. pattern of ur- ban `development in this province. Van Donkersgoed noted that the most re- cent study by Environment : Canada demonstrates that disastrous nature of this trend. From 1976 to 1981, the city of Toronto and ten. urban centres around it expanded ahnost totally onto foodland: 56 per cent was on Class I food1and; 83 per cent was Classes.1 to VI. Van Donkersgoed also pointed out that the new policy statement lacked three key re- quiremehts if Ontario's foodland is to be LB. - DELICATE§'S Mary Milos Sandwich Stylet Deli'#iiped COOKED HAMVl 4.39' o.
