A Legacy for Future Generations

Our living countryside, our working landscapes and
our rural communities have fed and supported us for generations.

A healthy relationship between rural land use,
urban development and the environment is the way to a sustainable future.

“This is my rest, here do I stay, for I like it well”
Uttered by John Dalziel on first sight of his farm, Lot 1, Conc.V, Vaughan Township, in 1828.
The property is now part of Black Creek Pioneer Village, a division of the Toronto & Region Conservation Authority.

“Whatever befalls the earth, befalls the children of the earth.
We did not weave the web of life, we are merely a strand in it.
Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves.”
- attributed to Chief Seattle
