Opinion: Waterloo Region's farmers have a vested interest in getting light rail transit built and used to control urban sprawl
Farmers and the agricultural community in Waterloo Region will not be required to pay for and will, in all likelihood, rarely use light rapid transit, yet we have a vested interest in ensuring that it is not only built but also used extensively by our urban neighbours.

Waterloo Region is growing at a rate that is higher than nearly any other municipality in Canada and the province of Ontario has clearly stated in the Places to Grow Act that we are to continue that growth. The agricultural views, vistas, farmsteads and indeed our cultural heritage that we all appreciate and admire are in peril if we don't continue to take measures to ensure that the official boundaries of our cities, our countryside lines, are kept in place.
