Don Barker, a member of the Opposition Group,  organized a petition that was filed with City Hall on June 15. The petition has 242 pages, with 2876 names. Thank you to all who took the time to sign and show their support for our cause. The petition includes signatures from all 11 wards. Don made a deputation at the Wednesday June 28, 10:00 am Council Meeting, where he presented and explained our petition.  Click here to learn more and watch the video replay.

The Mississauga News has described the petition with such a large number of signatures as "historic". Although the Mississauga News described the petition as electronic, in fact there were 242 paper pages filed, of pen and ink signatures by 2876 Mississauga adult residents.

​

Insauga.com has also published a story about our petition. They state "residents are ramping up opposition".

Planning and Development Committee.

We filled the Council chamber and made detailed reasoned submissions. The Developer indicated during his representative's submissions that he may be making a new proposal for higher towers, including one which will be 15 storeys, rather than  the original 10 or 11. The Developer's "plan" is a moving target.

​

We expect that the Developer may make a revised submission to the City. If so the revisions will be published at the City web site for Ward 8 applications under the heading 4099 Erin Mills Parkway. The Applicant can expect that we will fill City Council Chamber to protest again if the Application is another unreasonable attack on good planning. Any redevelopment of 4099 Erin Mills Parkway must preserve the existing retail and services, fit the original Erin Mills Plan of diversified and affordable housing, and encourage/improve the walkable, livable, family, and environmentally-friendly community that we already have.

If we are going to litigate against the Developer's Application at the Ontario Land Tribunal we will need a formal organization that can retain legal counsel and expert witnesses. Cash contributions will be requested from residents to raise funds for retainers. The community  needs your help if you have previously been involved with a Ratepayers group or have experience in setting up and maintaining a non-profit organization. Contact the 4099 Opposition Group for more information or to volunteer your services.

We hope to join the MIRANET association of Mississauga Residents Associations.

There are many angry Conservative voters in our neighbourhood. People who have lived in their homes for many years, are horrified to discover that our neighbourhood shopping centre will be eliminated and a major high-density Development will be built at 4099 Erin Mills Parkway. Many people generally support building homes and other development in Ontario but refuse to accept the poor planning of this Development Application. MPP Sabawy has not been responding to our letters and e-mails on these issues. Perhaps he or his party office need to be confronted by a delegation. Do you have any contacts within the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario? Be sure to tell MPP Sabawy about the great video documentary we prepared for the May 29, 2023 meeting at Mississauga City Hall.

Struggles by people fighting takeovers of these lands  have happened before. Awful things happened to people. Our struggle is a pale reflection of theirs. People who lived here two hundred years ago lost their homes, fishing areas, and farms to wealthy settlers who wanted the reserve lands one-mile on either side of the Credit River for sawmills and settlements. We can learn a great deal from the awful displacement of residents 200 years ago.

Our own Erin Mills community history began in 1969. We need to start by Acknowledging the amazing people who lived here before us. We can learn so much from their ongoing battle with "Development".
