NDP Candidate Caleb Smolenaars

"Oakville North–Burlington deserves an NDP government that will build more homes and protect our natural heritage – not pave over green space and wetlands on behalf of speculators and insiders. As a lifelong Millcroft resident and climate advocate, I understand the significance of this issue.

For seven long years, Ontarians have seen how Effie Triantafilopoulos and Doug Ford have worked to destroy green space and natural heritage while failing to build new homes. We need to update our planning rules and processes to make it cheaper and easier to build more types of homes for more types of people in more neighbourhoods - without destroying green space and wetlands, and without increasing flood risks and other threats to people, property, and the environment."
