MISSION STATEMENT
To have the Legislative Assembly of Ontario rescind the forced amalgamation order and return our local municipal government to the local citizens and their democratically elected officials in Flamborough.
REASONS:
- The citizens of Flamborough had no direct say in the creation of the new City of Hamilton
- The government by regulation and legislation forced the amalgamation, against the will of the obvious majority of the people
- The government has not delivered the promised streamlined, more efficient and accountable local government, nor the provision of better services at reduced costs
- The promise of tax decreases has not been met
- The expected transition costs to area taxpayers of this forced amalgamation have already exceeded the promised amount
BELIEFS:
- The Committee to Free Flamborough is independent of political party affiliation.
- It will continue to use its lobbying power and influence on the Provincial Government and the Super City to achieve the above objective.
- It believes that the communities of Flamborough and its citizens have a democratic right to evaluate, and decide on, their future direction in terms of services & local government structure.
