註釋The Greater Toronto Area occupies less than 1 per cent of Ontario's land base, and yet it houses more than 40 per cent of the province's people. The number of people living in the GTA has been increasing at a fast rate and is expected to increase substantially in the near future. The forecast is that it will reach 5.4 million by 2011, an increase of almost 50 per cent over the 1986 population. The area also contains two major physiographic features: the Niagara Escarpment and the Oak Ridges Moraine. More than 21 per cent of the land base is forest-covered. It also houses a host of provincially rare plant and animal species and contains a number of provincially significant wetlands and natural areas. Therefore, in the GTA's plan for the future, a comprehensive look at the natural resources and attributes of the areas in light of the area's potential growth is required. This document offers options for securing greenlands.
