East Gwillimbury’s Oak Ridges Moraine area contains the headwaters of the East Holland River, where springs along the ORM’s northern flank feed tributaries that drain north into Cook’s Bay, Lake Simcoe. Following provincial decisions that redesignated the “Whitebelt” lands around the community of Mount Albert for future development, there is growing community concern surrounding the pace of growth and the capacity and impacts of expanded municipal water, wastewater, and stormwater servicing in these sensitive headwaters.
