Kevin Eby is the former Waterloo Director of Community Planning and is now a founding member of The Alliance for a Liveable Ontario. The Alliance is an organization of over 800 individuals and 130 groups with the collective goal of building a sustainable future for the province. They aim to create a future of affordable housing that is climate resilient and co-exists with nature. The organization's website explains they 'offer hope by fighting bad policy decisions' and 'inspire leadership across all sectors.' Kevin Eby also served on the provincial Greenbelt Council before resigning in 2020 in protest to the government proposing power and authority are taken from conservation authorities. In 2023, this is now a reality in Bill 23, which is the main focus of this interview. Kevin Eby joins Earth Care to break down the More Homes Built Faster Act from the lens of community planning. He explains gentle intensification and how it promotes affordable housing, healthy communities, and is a sustainable alternative to development on the Greenbelt.
