The City's LRT plan has $3.4 billion in federal & provincial funding. Show your support for the plan.

Statement by Martin Kuplens-Ewart

As we look to the next 10+ years it is clear that we need to not only cover the basic requirements of moving our existing population, but prepare for growth. The future of our city will be built on the back of the modern infrastructure that we choose to implement today.

Crucially, we must develop an identity as a forward-looking, modern city, not one stuck in the 'good old' days of unlimited employment at the old steel mills.

The high-tech transformation of Ontario is well underway, with hubs in Toronto and Waterloo. Though it may not seem like it, the LRT project is an essential step toward establishing ourselves as part of the vital Toronto-Hamilton-Waterloo hub, and not just yet another town bypassed along the way.

I urge you to continue your support of this exciting project and to work to realize the exciting possibilities in our future rather than surrender to fear and cling on to a fading past.
