I am writing to express my strong support for the City of Burlington's request for a Ministerial Zoning Order (MZO) to PROTECT ALL REMAINING OPEN SPACES within the Millcroft community. It is essential that no additional development be permitted on the remaining Millcroft Golf Course lands beyond what has already been approved through the Ontario Land Tribunal. In particular, I am firmly opposed to any further development proposed through the Phase 2 plan and believe these lands must remain designated as open space.

The remaining Millcroft Golf Course lands provide essential environmental, recreational, and community benefits that cannot be replaced once developed. These areas play a critical role in stormwater management, flood mitigation, biodiversity, and tree canopy preservation, while also supporting the long-standing character and livability of the Millcroft neighbourhood.

Phase 2 development would permanently alter these functions and diminish the environmental integrity of the community. Residents have relied on this open space for decades, and maintaining the existing zoning aligns with both community expectations and responsible land-use planning. Protecting these lands is consistent with broader provincial interests in sustainability, climate resilience, and the preservation of green space.

For these reasons, I respectfully urge the Ministry to approve the City's MZO request and ensure the lands identified in the Phase 2 proposal remain protected as open space, with no additional development permitted.
