ANSWER THE CALL – STOP SPRAWL HALTON meghan clout

It’s time to determine an end to suburban sprawl developments and say “yes” to sustainable growth.

Halton Region will decide the quality of life for Halton residents for the next 30 years and beyond. On February 9th, Councillors will be voting on a proposal to convert 5000 acres of prime agricultural farmland into houses, roads, and warehouses.

Evidence shows that there is enough land already approved for continued urban growth in Halton and that the provincial government’s push to convert farmland into suburban sprawl is a land-grab that will largely benefit developers and raise your taxes.

Join us for an exciting evening of speakers and performers to help raise money to fund our Stop Sprawl Halton Campaign.

  1. Hello this poster says the event is at 7 pm but when it went into my google calendar it came up from 2 to 4. I assume 7 pm is the correct time?

As a community, we have the responsibility to honour, care for and respect all the Creation gives to provide us with life. This includes the land, water, air, fire, animals, plants and our ancestors.

The Anishinabek Peoples have utilized this land for millennia and we would like to acknowledge their direct descendants, the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, as the rightful caretakers and titleholders of this land upon which we live, work and conduct ourselves. We acknowledge our treaty relationship and responsibilities to both the land and these original peoples.

We also recognize that this land is rich in pre-contact history and customs, which includes the Anishinabek and Haudenosaunee and since European contact, has and continues to become home for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples. And it is in the spirit and intent of the Dish With One Spoon, wampum agreement whereby we will collectively care for and respect the land, water, animals and each other in the interests of peace and friendship and for the benefit of not only ourselves but of our future descendants.  

The HEN Office resides on Treaty 22, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation. For more information on Treaty 22 go to: http://mncfn.ca/treaty2223/
