I oppose developing Millcroft Golf Course into housing because this area of Burlington does not need more low-density residential development at the expense of one of its largest remaining green spaces. While housing supply is an important issue in many communities, this proposal does not meaningfully address affordability or intensification goals and instead replaces open land with more suburban housing in an already established neighbourhood. Millcroft provides environmental and community value through mature trees, stormwater absorption, wildlife habitat, and open space that contributes to air quality, neighbourhood character, and overall quality of life. Once green space is lost to development, it is nearly impossible to restore. Burlington has opportunities to accommodate future growth through redevelopment and higher-density projects in more appropriate locations without sacrificing one of the few remaining large open landscapes in the community. Protecting Millcroft means prioritizing long-term livability, environmental stewardship, and preserving green space for future generations rather than short-term development gains
