I am 13 years old and have grown up in the Millcroft area. The green space is part of what makes this neighbourhood special. My friends and I see birds, animals, and big trees that make it feel different from other places where everything has been built over.

Adults always tell my generation that we need to care about the environment and protect nature for the future. If that’s true, then we should protect the green spaces we still have instead of replacing them with more houses.

Once these lands are developed, kids like me and the generations after us will never get them back. I hope the Province supports the City of Burlington’s request to preserve the remaining Millcroft open space so future families can enjoy it just like we have.
