The Greater Golden Horseshoe Greenbelt encompasses 800,000 hectares of forests, wetlands, watersheds, and agricultural lands surrounding Toronto metropolitan region.

The Greenbelt contains thousands of farms that produce fruits, vegetables, and grapes, contributing to Ontario's agricultural heritage and local food production.
This natural reserve generates $9.6 billion annually through agriculture, tourism, and outdoor activities while providing employment for 177,000 people across the region.
The protected area safeguards over 70 different species at risk and includes the Niagara Escarpment, designated as a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve.
