Angel Godsoe testifies from South Central Ontario about the effects of rural rezoning, land-use restrictions, and municipal decision-making on small farms and rural communities. Drawing on her experience operating a horse farm and involvement in a family beef operation, she describes how new zoning rules restrict local food processing, severances, and rural growth while concentrating development into designated settlement areas. Her testimony emphasizes the impact of these changes on farm-to-table models, rural economic sustainability, and community autonomy, and situates these concerns within broader frustrations about public consultation, amalgamation, and accountability in local governance.
