I strongly support ERO 026-0550, the City of Burlington’s request for a Minister’s Zoning Order to preserve Open Space uses on the remaining Millcroft Golf Course lands.

I support this request because the remaining Millcroft lands are important to the community and should continue to serve Open Space, stormwater management, flood protection, natural heritage, tree canopy, and community functions.

These lands are not just unused private land. They are part of an established neighbourhood and help support drainage, open space, environmental protection, and quality of life for Millcroft residents.

The Province should not approve a competing developer-requested MZO that would convert these lands to residential development. Instead, the Province should approve the City of Burlington’s request and protect the remaining lands for Open Space uses.

Preserving these lands is the better planning outcome. It respects Burlington’s local planning process, protects residents from additional flood and stormwater risk, and supports the long-term environmental function of the area.

I respectfully ask the Province to approve the City of Burlington’s MZO request under ERO 026-0550.
