BURLINGTON, ON

 

It has been a busy fall for the Admin Team at Millcroft Against Bad Development. An update on their activities and what they think can be done to assist in stopping this development.

They have been working closely with our elected officials Mayor Marianne Meed Ward, Councillor Angelo Bentivegna, MPP Effie Triantafilopoulos and MPP Natalie Pierre.

In meeting the Premier back in September, he stated to the MAD team that he would reach out to our Mayor to work on this together, contact MPP Paul Calandra to get up to speed on our file and explore all options to preserve our green space.

Many in the community were resting their hope on convincing the Premier to issue an MZO – a Ministerial Zoning Order that could quash the decision issued by the Ontario Land Tribunal. There are reports that the Premier has already said he would not be issuing an MZO.

The Mayor and the MAD team are still waiting for a meeting with the Premier and are hopeful that this will take place in the near future now that the Legislature is back in session.
