Milton’s planned growth over the last 25 years has contributed significantly to Canada’s housing supply and economy. In supporting our next growth phase, we are asking our local candidates to partner with us and assist in developing our community out to our vision for 2051.
These priorities focus on:
- Improving transit
- Supporting housing
- Addressing affordability

These priorities reflect Milton’s momentum—and our need for strong federal partnerships. With the right investments, we can build a more connected, affordable, and sustainable community for everyone.
