Wayne Gates, MPP Niagara Falls, in the Ontario Legislature

NOTL Development

We don’t build a community by bulldozing over people’s hard-work or the heritage of our province. You can build as many houses as you want but building a community is something entirely different.When you build a community you build a special bond between neighbours. That requires working together and ensuring that the community that their children and grand-children inherit is just as special as the one we’re living in.We have something special in Niagara-on-the-Lake. Something that has required hard-work and dedication – we simply cannot afford to lose that.
