Our community

Milton & north Burlington

From the Escarpment to the newest subdivisions, we’re growing faster than almost anywhere in Canada, and somehow we’ve kept our soul. That’s not an accident. It’s the people.

A riding that grew up without forgetting itself

When I first ran for council in 2010, about 80,000 people called Milton home. Today we’re over 160,000, and still climbing. The town has doubled in fifteen years. We’ve welcomed families from every corner of the world, watched new neighbourhoods rise where there were fields, and somehow kept the small-town instinct to look out for one another.

The farms are still here. So is the Escarpment, the trails, the Saturday-morning bustle on Main Street. Growth that fast can hollow a place out. Ours hasn’t, because the people who live here refuse to let it. And the riding of Milton is bigger than the Town of Milton: it also includes part of north Burlington — Kilbride, Lowville, Mount Nemo, Cedar Springs — where the same Escarpment rolls south and the farms run just as deep. That’s the community I get to represent, all of it, and it’s worth fighting for.
