Now, the committee is looking at the material and wondering "how do we put this together?" And the group really does have to put it together because as Crandall Crandall put it -- "people are coming and we have to do something about it." The people she is referring to are those who live in the Greater Toronto Toronto Area and who "are putting pressure pressure (to develop) on the Oak Ridges Moraine." The pressure seems to be twofold. twofold. There will be impacts on both the land and the water stored within the moraine. As it is, "Durham Region is holding holding off on a lot of decisions" as it waits for the committee's report This kind of pressure means the report must be more than adequate, Crandall added. One of the questions Crandall posed to the audience was: "Do you think the Oak Ridges Moraine is significant enough to warrant development development controls of some kind?" * Kendal resident Elva Reid inquired inquired about the amount of farming that actually goes on within the 160 kilometer stretch of the moraine. "What percentage of the moraine is actively farmed, she asked?" As local bee farmers, Reid's family family has been involved in agriculture for more than a century. Crandall, instead of muddling through an answer, stated up front she didn't know. She added that she would find out. Reid stated she thought, according according to other reports, that "farming is being totally written off." One of the purposes of the report, Crandall stated, is to find ways to provide good stewardship of the ridges. "The Oak Ridges Moraine is an eco-system unto itself." Some folks may think the committee committee is seeking complete moratorium moratorium on development on the moraine. However, that isn't what it is looking looking for at all, said Crandall. "No government will have a complete sterilization of the land," Crandall said. Another area resident questioned the idea of planning for the next 20 years. "Instead of just planning for the next 10 to 20 years, why not for the next 50,100 or 500 years? "If not, our children's children will ask, 'What did you do?' "We are still at a point where we can develop this as a part of a larger green belt plan, as they have in Ottawa," Ottawa," the man noted.
