Overview

The Province of Ontario's Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Plan (2017), dated May 2017, reproducing Ontario Regulation 140/02 under the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act, 2001 with explanatory Introduction and Implementation sections. It covers land use designations — Natural Core, Natural Linkage, Countryside and Settlement Areas — protection of key natural heritage features, hydrological features and landform conservation areas, and specific policies on lot creation, aggregates, recreation, infrastructure and stormwater. Whitchurch-Stouffville lists it among its planning guidelines, and the Town's planning application asks whether lands fall within this Plan.
