"Throughout my career I have had the opportunity to observe and work with many local grassroots organizations. Without question, one of the most effective groups I have been involved with is the Simcoe County Greenbelt Coalition. Its track record of strong leadership and focus on proactively addressing local growth management and environmental issues through educational opportunities has made it the envy of many communities throughout Ontario."

"The Simcoe County Greenbelt Coalition is at the forefront of the battle to save the Greenbelt. Make no mistake about it, the Greenbelt is under threat like never before as the Provincial Government continues a concerted, disastrous attack on its environmental integrity and creates the conditions for its unravelling. Our ability to fight back largely depends on the ability of community-based groups to resist this destruction of one of Ontario's greatest accomplishments The Simcoe County Greenbelt Coalition, in particular, has the experience, energy and commitment to offer the leadership we require. I hope they are successful in getting the support and resources they need to do the job."

"I am a huge fan of the Simcoe County Greenbelt Coalition. The Simcoe County Greenbelt Coalition is a highly effective and respected grassroots organization. Their hard work, strategic approach and unwavering commitment to environmental protection are second to none. They are always a welcome partner in collaborative initiatives. They never hesitate to roll up their sleeves to get things done, ensuring that broader strategies are informed by and respond to local realities on the ground."

"At a time when Federal and Provincial environmental policy is lagging far behind what is required to be able to hand our children and grandchildren a clean, habitable world, the SCGC has stepped in to fill that gap. Local and regional partnerships built with care and with a vision for a sustainable future are the cornerstone of a way forward. I am proud to have a role within SCGC as we map the future that we want, a future that is environmentally sound, vital and thriving, that we are in harmony with."

"SCGC is a key player in the rising tide of effective, matrixed and coordinated responses to the unprecedented attacks on Ontario’s environment, its communities and our collective future. Provincial and regional groups each bring their skills and experiences to the effort and SCGC stands out as a smart, nimble and effective player in the Simcoe region, which also brings its key learnings to the attention and benefit of other organizations across Ontario in a truly team building fashion."

"My introduction to the Simcoe County Greenbelt Coalition came from a colleague. She told me about their incredible successes in connecting and empowering community groups around Greenbelt issues. Shortly afterwards, I started working regularly with them. I soon realized SCGC's successes were in large part due to how they work together. They understand the importance of building relationships of trust with their members. They also understand when to listen and when to inspire and lead. Within the Ontario Greenbelt Alliance, SCGC is a leader in community engagement and empowerment and has made Ontario a better place."

"Simcoe County Greenbelt Coalition is an organization of utmost importance in our region. Not only do they effectively address sustainable land use planning, expanding the Greenbelt, building complete communities, halting urban sprawl and reckless highways, protecting natural heritage, and boosting civic engagement - but they also facilitate the important work of building a regional alliance and cross-sector collaboration and solidarity here in Simcoe County. SCGC’s support and mentorship has been invaluable to me as a young female community organizer, and I am incredibly grateful. SCGC’s Youth Advocacy and Activism Toolkit is also a great resource to empower generations to come!"
