Millcroft in Burlington…

Millcroft in Burlington Ontario, has been a unique and beautiful neighborhood for more than 35 years, built around green space, mature trees, and a natural environment that residents have cherished for decades. The approved redevelopment includes new residential construction on portions of the golf course lands, a change that many residents feel will permanently alter the character of the community.

This is not about being against growth. It’s about protecting the features that made Millcroft special in the first place. Many families chose to live here because of the open green spaces, mature landscape, and sense of community. Watching these spaces disappear and seeing hundreds of trees removed is heartbreaking for many residents. Recent tree removals on the site have only intensified those concerns. (burlington.ca⁠)

Progress should be thoughtful, balanced, and respectful of the people who have invested their lives in this community. The voices of residents deserve to be heard and respected as Burlington continues to grow.

This destruction and the abuse of power by a select few is deeply concerning. Corruption has now touched our beloved city of Burlington.

At time when the real estate market is already facing challenges and there is no guarantee these homes will sell quickly, many residents are left wondering why such irreversible environmental damage was allowed to happen. No more ! We need to protect our green space , we don’t need new homes to be built on our green space.

But most importantly, are you sure someone want to spend $2 million on a home in a flood-prone area where beautiful open green space, a golf course, mature trees, and natural ponds once existed?

Before a single home is sold, the public deserves proof that the developer has paid the more than $45 million in required fees associated with cutting down these trees and the significant environmental impact caused by this project.

Our Millcroft community deserves transparency, accountability, and leaders who put people before politics. We need elected officials who are willing to step forward, help us navigate this situation, and protect the community we call home.

Millcroft deserves to be protected. We are asking you to stop this reckless development and prevent further destruction of what remains of our neighborhood’s character, green space, and quality of life. The residents of Millcroft have spoken, and it is time for our concerns to be heard and respected.

Please stand with our community and help put an end to this unnecessary and damaging plan before it’s too late. Thank you!
