Developer William Teron wanted the National Capital Commission to sell 6,000 acres of the Greenbelt for housing and rapid transit. Mr. Teron was the CEO of the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation and "The Father of Kanata.":
The Greenbelt "is a gorgeous place, but very seldom do you see people within it. Here, a million people would connect." "Mr. Teron envisioned small villages of 5,000 to 10,000 people each, which would be developed around roads such as Woodroffe and Merivale." (Ottawa Citizen newspaper.)
