Welcome to CarpRidge.ca. We hope you find it a useful resource. The issue of how the lands and communities surrounding the Carp Ridge will develop is vitally important to all of us in the area. And make no mistake, plans are in process that will mean change, and lots of it.

This website is intended to provide a place to gather some important and relevant information about our area and hopefully motivate and facilitate your becoming involved.

To be clear, we are in no way against development in general.  On the contrary, there are many ways to improve our communities and add to the quality of life of all of us who live here.  At the same time we are not forgetting that individuals and companies have a financial stake in the development and they too deserve a level playing field where we all know the rules and work together to make sure they are followed to the letter of the law.

The Right to Farm

We support and affirm the right to farm in our rural area.   This isn't a given by any means.   The farmers were here first and they have a right to their property and the right to pursue their business.    Their important status is never overlooked in our work.

Coming Soon

In the coming weeks we are going to gather land use information for the site, that will show what types of development are possible in our area.  We will continue to describe and update you on plans that are in process and provide as much information as we can find about them.  

Issues

To begin with we will be focusing on the proposed subdivision planned for the Carp Ridge just north of Thomas Dolan Parkway on Carp Road.

If you choose to sign up for e-bulletins from us we will keep you up to date with changes and additions to our website.

We will never have the resources to make this site the only place to go for information on this topic but we hope it will get you into action. We welcome and encourage submissions of material for the site from all parties.
