Abdullah Mir (born May 8, 1993) is a Canadian environmental and civic activist known for his leadership roles in various community organizations. He currently serves as the co-chair [1] of Stop Sprawl Durham, a city planning and environmental advocacy group. Additionally, Mir holds positions as a board member [2] of the Pickering Public Library and a board member of Land Over Landings, a land use advocacy group.
Mir has been actively involved in the citizens' movement opposing development on the Greenbelt, specifically focusing on the Duffins Rouge Agricultural Preserve (DRAP) in Pickering. He has organized and led successful rallies and letter-writing campaigns in support of preserving the DRAP lands [3] [4] [5]. Notably, a significant rally occurred on August 13, 2023, in Pickering, in response to the Auditor General’s Special Report on Greenbelt Land Removals. The event drew thousands of participants from diverse backgrounds [6] [7] [8] [9] [10]. The rally gained national news coverage, highlighting the collective citizen opposition to the provincial government's actions.
As a result of sustained citizen pressure from groups like Stop Sprawl Durham and others across Ontario, the Ford government announced on September 21, 2023, that it would reverse all changes to the Greenbelt. This decision aimed at restoring and returning all lands removed in December 2022, including the DRAP in Pickering [11].
Mir, originally from Toronto, currently resides in Pickering. He is passionate about environmental protection, advocating for a publicly managed healthcare system [12], investing in education, and contributing to the development of healthy communities.
