Thank you for listening to…

Thank you for listening to comments.

Having lived in Millcroft since 2001, we have seen the flooding. The idea that more homes is a good idea on a flood plain is not sensible, further the climate continues to give us more severe weather, this is a well known fact and there is no probability that severe weather will subside.

Millcroft is and always has been a golf course community, if not a golf course then open space should remain protected to address the flooding issue. The city offered to buy the land for that very reason and Argo chooses to focus on the single idea of profit versus balancing corporate goals with good stewardship and aligning with the community.

The affordable housing crisis is not addressed by building more single dwelling homes in Millcroft, it is the opposite. Housing costs are severely out of reach for most people in their 20's and 30's, developers play the long game, I get that but the financial stress of owning an affordable home is daunting, There is nothing that aligns with easing or creating an achievable home ownership strategy by building large homes in Millcroft.

This fight has been exhausting for everyone involved, at some point someone needs to make a courageous decision, that is now left to the province. The community and city have acted valiantly to stop this and all decisions have fallen on the side of the developer. To think that the entire project should favor one party leaves one mystified and extremely disappointed with elected officials who are required to listen to their constituents.

Thank You.
