Kanata Lakes and Beaverbrook residents want answers following these latest setbacks for preserving Kanata’s greenspace.
Kanata MPP Merilee Fullerton says her constituents should look to the City, and not to the Ford government to preserve the community’s endangered greenspace. A strange directive, given the City of Ottawa voted unanimously against ClubLink’s plan and Mayor Watson has repeatedly spoken out against this off-side development.
Fullerton’s rejection of Kanata’s plea for help comes 9 months after the Ford government blocked the destruction of Oakville’s Glen Abbey golf course without explanation. In a letter to her constituents, Fullerton says stopping the development is up to the City, not the province. “The approval or rejection of the development is within the purview of the City, I will work with the Mayor and Councillor Curry and the new Mayor and next Ottawa Council to halt this development.”
Fullerton makes no mention of when she’ll be taking Kanata’s case to the Ford government at Queen’s Park.
