Town Hall will take place tomorrow night at Fleming Memorial Arena

Ontario's NDP Leader will be in Beamsville tomorrow.

Marit Stiles will host a town hall to discuss the province's plans for the Greenbelt.

She'll be joined by MPPs Wayne Gates, Jeff Burch and Sandy Shaw.

The meeting will take place tomorrow at 6 at Fleming Memorial Arena.

Last year, the Ford government announced plans to open up parts of the Greenbelt in order to build 50,000 new homes.

This is part of a plan to build over a million homes over the next ten years, in hopes of tackling the housing shortage.

Stiles has spoken against the plan, saying it's a betrayal of Ontarians.
