BURLINGTON, ON

When first envisioned Millcroft was a model others were expected to follow.

On November 5, 2025, the charges related to the tree removals at Millcroft Golf Course were scheduled for first appearance before the Court. Legal counsel appeared on behalf of Argo Development Corporation and Argo (Millcroft) Limited, and acted as agent for all other defendants. All matters were adjourned to February 11, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. and marked to be spoken to. No date for the trial of these matters has been set yet. The purpose of the adjournment was to:

1.Allow the prosecution additional time to prepare and produce the voluminous disclosure;

2.Give the defendants time to review the disclosure and retain further legal representation, as required; and

3.Allow the parties time to enter into any resolution discussions.

The following defendants have been charged:

Private Tree By-law defendants: 2079610 Ontario Ltd. operating as Millcroft Golf Club, Argo Development Corporation, Argo (Millcroft) Limited, Millcroft Greens Corporation, Timbertek Inc.

Public Tree By-law defendant: Timbertek Inc.

Municipal Consent By-law defendants: 2079610 Ontario Ltd. Operating as Millcroft Golf Club, Argo Development Corporation, Argo (Millcroft) Limited, Millcroft Greens Corporation, Timbertek Inc.

MAD continues to work closely with our elected officials Mayor Marianne Meed Ward, MPP Effie Triantafilopoulos, Councillor Angelo Bentivegna, Halton Regional Chair Gary Carr and Community Advocates. They are using every tool in their tool box to preserve our green space. MAD can assure you that the fight is still on!

Is this a by-law offence taking place?

Mediation is ongoing and confidential, so we have no updates on this matter at this time.

We hope you have seen our new lawn signs. Our first order is now sold out. Our generous supplier, Global Printing, a fellow Millcroft resident, surprised us with a sizable discount, with the price now only $17.

Please email the Admin team at admin@millcroftagainstbaddevelopment.ca if you wish to order a sign. The image of the new lawn sign draws attention to this “tragic” development, building on floodplains, illustrates our unity as a community and that the fight continues.

We encourage you to keep up the fight as well. Continue with your calls, emails, letters and comments on our public social media. We are not going down easily and we are getting noticed! Well done folks!
