HBPA ADVISORY COMMITTEE

HBPA ADVISORY COMMITTEE

Yesterday afternoon Premier Doug Ford and Mayor Olivia Chow were at Woodbine

Racetrack to announce a new Metrolink Go Station on the property, HBPA President

Sue Leslie also attended the event. This train station will be a part of a substantial land

development project which will see the addition of new housing, jobs and economic

opportunities.

Part of this project will also see the creation of the HBPA advisory committee on land

development, which will give the horse people a voice. The HBPA would like to thank

Woodbine for supporting our involvement and understand how important the horse

people’s voice is.

HBPA President Sue Leslie, “The HBPA recognizes the importance of Woodbine’s

property development plans and the significant role they can play in generating new and

recurring revenue to support horse racing and purses in Ontario for generations to

come. We appreciate Woodbine’s commitment to engaging with the horse racing

community throughout this process. The formation of the HBPA advisory committee, is

a positive step towards ensuring that the needs and perspectives of our horse people

are considered as the property development moves forward.”
