The “Vista Development INC” wants to develop the Oak Ridges
Moraine into a residential community. The Oak Ridges Moraine is a “long
tract of land” which stretches for 160 km. from the Niagara Escarpment to
the Trent Canal system. It was left from the last “Ice Age” with deposits of
crushed rock, sand and clay beneath the land, which is an underground
water supply for most Southern Ontario, and the greater Toronto area.
The Oak Ridges Moraine in Richmond Hill, should not be developed into
a residential community for these reasons: It will destroy the environment,
there will be problems with the local residents, and the local Government of
the town of Richmond Hill.
The Local Government of Richmond Hill have a few problems to worry
about. They’ll be worried about the publicity that the residential community
will bring. The Local Government will have to bring in more money to build
schools, recreation, and other things. They will also have to put in a lot more
money for hydro, sewers, parks, water supply, recreation, and other special
services. The Local Government has absolutely no control over the
development for the private land. The town cannot freeze development so
they cannot oppose for this argument.

sensitive piece of land that should be protected for it could be destroyed
easily. The Oak Ridges Moraine is known to people as “Southern Ontario’s
rain Barrel” because it provides most of Southern Ontario with fresh and
clean water. The Oak Ridges Moraine is the “head” waters for Humber, Don
and the Rouge. With Vista Development INC getting involved, it will lead
Southern Ontario’s people to have un-sanitized water. The environmentalists
argue that presently 20,000 people live on the Moraine in Durham, but by
year 2011 24,000 people could be living there. That’s a crucially bad thing
for the Moraine.

not very happy with this environmental change. The people feel that it has
made a big impact in their lives in many ways. the Local Residents prefer to

locals enjoy ice fishing on the frozen lakes, and ponds. The town committed
to protection of the natural environment and will be very angry if their
memories are destroyed. The people are also upset at the cost to the tax
payers that fight housing developers. The residents believe that there will
also be a few problems for Vista Development INC, they could get a bad
name for this inconvenience for the people and there could be many hassles
for the conservationists and for the environmentalists which will be hard to
