I write as a concerned citizen of Port Hope Ontario and as a member of Heritage Port Hope Advisory Committee to Council.
Port Hope is a beautiful town steeped in history. The main street is lined with heritage buildings and there are many outstanding heritage properties in and around the town. If Bill 23 is passed, it is going to be very difficult, if not impossible, to maintain Port Hope's significant Heritage.
It appears that Doug Ford and his Government are pushing through the amendments to this Bill to satisfy the "developers" but with no thought to how this is going to change Ontario for ever. There are many Environmental Groups and Heritage Groups which are very upset about the changes that are just going to be thrust on them. Whatever happened to democracy? There are other ways to obtain the needed housing.
I am deeply concerned that our government is going out on a limb and failing to protect our current environment.
