We strongly oppose the MZO request by Millcroft Greens for the further development of the Millcroft Golf Course for residential construction. This will continue to lessen green space and tree canopy in the city, contribute to climate change, reduce habitat for species and increase the risk of flooding which will already have been increased by a currently unknown amount by the phase one construction. While increased housing is important, the city has maintained that this construction is not necessary to reach Burlington's provincial housing targets. The OLT is one of the most powerful non-elected bodies in the world, so the proposal must be stopped before the OLT's extreme pro-development bias automatically and autocratically grants approval. We support the City of Burlington's alternative plan for this green space. This will be the most important issue for our votes in the next provincial election.
