Join the conversation, your Greenbelt needs YOU!
CPAWS-OV is organizing our very first National Capital Greenbelt Forum to work towards making sure it is Protected, Connected and Restored into the future.
We want to hear from a wide variety of local representatives; community associations, environmental organizations and more as we launch our campaign advocating for stronger protections for the National Capital Greenbelt.
The afternoon will include talks from experts in the field, including keynote speaker Dr. David Gordon from Queen’s University, who has written extensively about the urban planning of Canada’s national capital region. Through talks and collaborative discussion we hope to finish the day by presenting our concluding 5 big ideas regarding the management of the Greenbelt as well as steps we can all take together towards its protection.
The Forum will take place on February 21st, 2026 from 1-5 pm at the Canadian Museum of Nature.
This event is not open to the general public but please subscribe to our newsletter to hear how you can also have your voice heard and participate in the Greenbelt campaign.
If you wish to join as a representative from a local stakeholder group, please get in touch with Maggie at greenbelt@cpaws.org
We look forward to an in depth discussion and these first steps to building a lasting collaborative plan for a protected, connected and restored Greenbelt.
