Join the letter writing campaign. Tell Doug Ford to STOP THE TOC

Oakville! We need to take action. It’s time to send another letter to the province to tell them to STOP the TOC‼️

The province is trying to allow one developer to by-pass Oakville’s plan for Midtown with 11 hyper-density skyscrapers on the space of just five football fields. They need to let Oakville plan Midtown responsibly so it can become a livable community, not people warehousing. Follow the link below to send a letter now!⤵️

(Ps. can you imagine the traffic chaos??)
