Dear ,

Call To Action: PLEASE ATTEND This Public Hearing
Monday, April 14, 2025

Time: 6:30pm
Place: Council Chambers, Municipal Administrative Centre
40 Temperance Streety, Bowmanville, Ontario

The Municipality of Clarington is holding a Public Hearing to discuss three development proposals in Bowmanville, which could become subsets of / are falling under the Envision Durham Plan 2030 (annotated here).

In our effort to stop Envision Durham Plan, we need you to invite as many family and friends as possible to come to this Public Hearing, engage with your elected officials, and raise concerns about these proposals.

These proposals, and the 3rd proposal specifically, will increase the cost of rent and hinder accessibility to home ownership for first-time buyers. They also directly harm existing home owners' property values and open the door to more crime.

We ask Action4Canada members to help oppose the Municipality of Clarington's Housing plan.

Ask yourself and your elected officials:
  1. Which unintended consequences can be inferred from these proposals? (benefit/risk analysis)
  2. How much taxpayers' money will be used to implement each proposal?
  3. Is the Municipality acting on its own and for the benefit of its community or working with other organizations and unelected bodies to implement the agendas of others? (For example, see here the guide for Canadian Municipalities for the Development of a Housing Action Plan provided by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation)
For more questions and reflections, see the 15 Minute Cities Action Guidelines.

Again, it is important that you bring as many concerned citizens with you as possible to push back on these proposals.

Special Note: Although we really need you to show up, if you are unable to attend the live in-person event on April 14, you can attend online. Watch the live stream at www.clarington.net/calendar.
