Please do not grant the requested Minister's Zoning Order.
The original Land Tribunal Act decision to grant the building of over 90 houses on these golf course lands and the removal of 400+ trees ignored the wishes of the approximately 10,000 Burlington residents in favour of one developer. Let's bring back democracy to Ontario and deny this MZO request.

There are 3 watercourses that enter the golf course and parts of the course are flood plains. Should a serious storm with heavy rainfall strike after the developer and builder have finished the construction and left their responsibilities behind, there could be considerable flooding and damage to the new builds proposed with the existing taxpayers of Burlington footing the cost of clean-up.

Burlington will meet its home building targets to satisfy the Province of Ontario objectives without having to build on community golf courses.

Please say no to the MZO request and let us keep and enjoy our areas of open space and recreation.
