Another extreme weather…

Another extreme weather event in Ontario on July 1, 2026 created power outages due to a sudden storm. When houses replace green space on a flood plain, we are increasing the risks of flooding for the residents of Burlington. The water management plan by the developer has been questioned by the city’s engineers. Why would we plan to replace more green space without measuring the effects that phase 1 will have on the existing storm water system. We have evidence that Millcroft has seen flooding in the past 6 years and it is logical to expect that it is going to get worse over the next coming decades especially as the province approves construction/concrete over trees and their protective benefits.
