Milton Education Village has an open house today at 6:00pm at the Town Hall.
It is extremely important for people in Ward 8. See what happened in Oshawa: there aren’t enough residences for students. Despite by-laws prohibiting it, people rent their homes to 5-10 students. That, for various reasons (parties, parking issues, garbage, poor maintenance by students) has completely crashed property values. You can read a little about in Toronto Star’s article here. The situation is so bad that people want to sell their homes and move out but no one wants to buy a house there.
This proposed education village is in Ward 8, where Mattamy’s HVE, Milton Trails and Heathwood Homes communities are. You can get more information on the town’s website. This is one reason why it is so important to elect someone who actually lives in ward 8. My property values are tied to yours (since I live here). I will make sure that a presence of university next door enhances our property values and quality of life instead of degrading it like what happened in Oshawa.
I will be there. If you see me then please come introduce yourself.
Thanks for all your hard work. I am sure you will watch out for our interest. You have our votes!
@Mark, Thanks Mark.
Thanks for coming by the other day to talk to us about No Frills. Did you get a chance to cover the entire area?
I cannot be there at this meeting tonight but my husband and I trust you to protect our interests :).
Jessica.
