April 26, 2022 – Revoke the MZO (provincial Ministers Zoning Order)

The Government of Ontario has refused to address the concerns of the City in relation to the TOC (transit-oriented communities) proposal at Bridge Station (in Langstaff, Yonge St. & Hwy 7). On April 14th right before the long weekend, the Minister issued an enhanced ministers zoning order (MZO), essentially removing the city from having any say on how this location is to be built. To implement the TOC, the Province wants the City to sign an agreement in principle (AIP) which we have refused at this time.
