Proud of Halton Region, Milton and our MP for standing up for Miltonians

This morning Mayor Krantz is on a flight to Ottawa along with the Mayors of Halton Hills, Oakville and Burlington. He is going to meet with PMO staff and Minister Garneau to ask the Federal Government to refuse CN’s proposed intermodal in Milton. At 1:30pm there will be a live stream at Halton.ca/CN Our Milton MP Adam van Koeverden will be there with Mayor Krantz to also voice his strong opposition to CN’s proposal and support Milton and Halton Region in our position. I and my fellow councillors were with Mayor Krantz until very late last night at a council workshop. He and regional council have my full support in their position which they will strongly present today in Ottawa. Go online today at 1:30 to watch the press briefing live

This passed last night with the unanimous support of Milton Town Council.
