The developers of a new subdivision in York said Monday they will meet with a committee of the Six Nations Confederacy Council. The development, which would have 55 houses in York received the approval of county council Monday. But Wes Elliott, who attended council’s planning committee meeting as a representative of Onondaga Chief Artie General, told council that the development is in the Haldimand Tract.
The land is subject to a land claim by the Six Nations and is in the area being dealt with at the negotiating table by the federal and provincial governments and the Six Nations. Speaking to Haldimand County Council Elliott said: “We are tired of being slapped in the face by this council.”
