To whom it may concern,

I am writing in connection with Item 15 (Notice of Motion) on the City Council Agenda for Nov 9, 2020. I strongly oppose the construction of the new regional acute care hospital on County Road 42.

This plan has been made in the interests of developers, not citizens; which really goes to show you where your priorities lie.

This location would deprive people in the core neighbourhoods of easy access to healthcare where it is needed the most; how long would an ambulance ride take to get there? Too long.

Urban sprawl development will be a disaster both economically and socially for the city. This plan also does not meet the city’s environmental sustainability targets, and has not been planned in consultation with local Indigenous populations.

If you are willing to ignore and neglect these things, you shouldn’t be in charge of making changes.
