Hello everyone
I have just discovered this site. I am looking to get a few acres of land to provide a sanctuary for rescued animals. I live in east gwillimbury ontario and was wondering if anyone knew of such land that might be available, or how I would go about looking - I guess I should say looking further as the lands described by townships are lot and plans and a person would have to be at the registry office all the time to figure out really where these are, what size and such, no? I figure I need to know how the land is zoned, and would assume that I would need agricultural? This is a strange way to go about this, but I need to start somewhere and I noticed that there are some extremely knowledgeable persons on this forum. Any input would be appreciated as I am doing this from scratch. Thank you very much.

You will need agricultural or rural zoning . It will vary by township, Additionally you will have to consider "minimum separation" calculations

If you are a registered charity you may be able to approach towns and look at pieces that didn't sell in the last year. If you are not a registered charity , go get registered , with 81,600 in Canada, one more wont hurt...
What animals are you looking at protecting?

thank you very much for your reply. Currently dogs and cats with an expectation to expand later on. I am not a registered charity yet, but that was my intention. I am going to read the training manual regarding the MDS Formulae. Who knew. Again, I am not off to a better start than last week. I cannot thank you enough. Do you have interest in animals/environment as well? :)

I would think that PMFs interest in animals is limited to how they taste (LOL, I'm probably wrong but I couldnt resist. yes I know he hates when hunters wastefully kill animals, but really, who doesnt)
I originally got into tax sales to find land for a hobby farm/ecovillage/animal sanctuary, but after years of tax sales I have won no properties that would be suitable for this use. Though there have been a few (very few) properties that may have been suitable that I didnt win. That means either its highly unlikey to find this or Im due.

I would hope more that you are due. PMF's??

also have you been looking in Ontario?
