City’s Willingness To Pursue Acquisition Of Millcroft

In December 2025, the Provincial Land Development Facilitator concluded their involvement in discussions between Argo and the City concerning the future of the Millcroft Golf Course lands.

Following that transition, and consistent with the direction provided to our CAO, he continued direct conversations with Argo’s representatives to explore whether there was a path for the City to acquire some or all the golf course lands in the public interest.

Most recently, the city formalized that interest in writing, advising Argo that the City would be prepared to purchase the lands for $15 million, approximately three times the amount reportedly paid for the property in 2020. This offer reflected a serious and good-faith effort to secure these lands for the community.

The City has since been informed that Argo is not prepared to sell its lands to the City.

While that response is disappointing, it is important that we understand the steps that have been taken and the City’s willingness to pursue acquisition at a significant premium. Further information, including supporting materials to assist with public communication, will be provided to Council in upcoming updates.

As Ward 6 Councillor, I remain committed to keeping our community informed and to continuing to advocate for outcomes that protect the long-term interests of Millcroft residents and the City as a who
