Our Chair of the Save General Brock Parklands Committee, Ken Woodruff responded with:
"Tonight the citizens of Burlington have witnessed a bold and forward thinking decision made by the majority of this Council on the issue of General Brock.  Their balanced choice respects the 40+ year traditional use of these lands & honours the current footprint of the site.  The school building portion of the site will remain the property of the school board, who may choose at a later time to sell it for development.  The Council has stepped up and confirmed they want to protect the remaining 14+ acres from development and preserve it as a park for current and future generations to enjoy. The City must now negotiate with the Halton District School Board to secure a reasonable land sale and we hope the school board will negotiate in good faith and recognize the interests of the citizens they serve".

The Save General Brock Parklands Committee will continue to monitor upcoming steps in this important process and update you, the citizens of Burlington periodically via this website.  If you have any inquiries, please contact saveourparks@cogeco.ca.

May all of you enjoy and appreciate the beautiful lands at General Brock for all the future years to come.
