      Dave I think that the Town of Oakville was more interested in halting the development of Glen Abbey rather than the heritage of the golf course

      Come to Barrie and see STUPID developing. And piece of land that can be bought up will be. And they will build. One corner here wants to build 4 luxury townhomes. Ya ok. You should see the crap they are building here these days. Light a match, and they are up in flames.
