Large developments should come with a published population and school-capacity impact assessment before approval, not after.
Residents shouldn't discover after moving in that their kids are bused across town because the local school is full.
Ward 7 already has an approved site for Northeast Oakville No. 1 High School at 103 Burnhamthorpe Road West. The next question is what happens when thousands more families arrive.
What I’ll do
If elected, I will push Council to require a real infrastructure plan before saying yes to major development, not simply approve growth and hope the infrastructure catches up later.
I'll take that same fight to the Region, because many of the decisions that shape our roads, healthcare, schools, and other critical infrastructure are made at the regional level.
