To say that ballot boxes and signs were a familiar sight around town is an understatement. Milton welcomed the world to our Velodrome as part of the Pan Am Games. helping to introduce our town as an incredible venue to cycle and to visit. We experienced the highs and lows of Target coming to Canada in a whirlwind. - then departing just as quickly. The next phase of residential growth has commenced in the Boyne neighbourhood (Louis St. Laurent/Britannia. Tremaine to 16 Mile Creek) and the Derry Green Business Park (east of James Snow Parkway) is almost ready to be developed. Significant amounts of new growth and expansions have been happening throughout our Town and it has been exciting to see the fantastic changes which are encouraging businesses to set up shop or increase their existing footprint.
