Burlington's mayor is asking the province to make Waterdown part of Burlington to help it solve its growth issues. Adding Waterdown to Burlington "will help alleviate growth pressures on downtown Burlington and provides fairness for Burlington taxpayers who, for years, have been directly impacted by growth in Waterdown that has created new demands on Burlington's infrastructure," Goldring said in a statement. Adding Waterdown to Burlington will help make local government work better for the people and will be a win-win for taxpayers." But Judi Partridge, Ward 15 councillor who represents Waterdown, said Flamborough residents feel more a part of Burlington than Hamilton anyway. #letsmakeadeal —@Sam_MerullaGoldring visited Queen's Park with Mayor Chris Friel of Brantford, Geoffrey Dawe of Aurora and Don Mitchell of Whitby.
