We are now a month away from the start of the Ontario Land Tribunal (OLT) hearing (March 5) and our team has been hard at work in preparation. As previously communicated, our planner, Allan Ramsay, has provided his witness statement to the OLT, which is 56 pages long and available for review on our website.
Since the last update:
Millcroft Greens have submitted updated reports
City of Burlington, on a without prejudice basis, has submitted a report of draft plan conditions, which we expect will be finalized soon.
OLT hearing schedule has been finalized, with Allan Ramsay being one of the last witnesses to testify at the hearing.
Allan Ramsay has reviewed the foregoing and is in the process of preparing a reply witness statement on MAD's behalf.
Now that we are closer to the OLT hearings and our professional advisors have provided us with more certainty in our strategy, MAD has developed a revised budget, which requires that we increase our fundraising goal from $40,000 to $70,000. The key reasons for the increase are:
For Allan to complete the reply witness statement and respond to the City of Burlington draft plan conditions.
For Allan to attend Millcroft Greens' expert witness testimonies and all other parties' witnesses that precede him
For the increased costs related to Allan Ramsay's revised witness statement
