Stop Dump Site 41

We the undersigned demand that the Ontario Government reverse its decision granting permission to drain water from the aquifer at Site 41 in Simcoe County to allow for a landfill to be built on the site for the following reasons...


TAKE ACTION – Contact Dalton McGuinty

Please take action – help us make a difference. Call or write Dalton McGuinty at 613-736-9573 or dmcguinty.mpp.co@liberal.ola.org on this issue and tell him to support a one-year moratorium. You can send your letter automatically online at www.canadians.org/action/2009/10-July-09.html.


TAKE ACTION – Contact your councillor before August 25

We can’t risk polluting the purest groundwater ever tested without answering the new questions raised since construction started.

Simcoe County Councillors owe it to their constituents to take a second look and consider all the facts.

MAKE SURE YOUR VOICE IS HEARD
Call, write, or email your Simcoe County councillor before the Aug. 25th council meeting and demand they support a 1 year moratorium on Dump Site 4.

Find your county councillor at www.county.simcoe.on.ca/countygovernment/council/index.htm or call 726-9300.
