Policy must prioritize water uses, putting the needs of ecosystems, agriculture, growing municipalities and strong local economies above commercial water bottling – an industry that is not only fundamentally harmful to the environment but is for the most part unrequired.

THIS AREA IS SLATED FOR EXPANSION. ALREADY IT EXPERIENCES DROUGHT IN THE SUMMER MONTHS. THE PLAN TO TAKE WATER OUT OF THIS SITE WILL CREATE A HUGE ENVIRONMENTAL STRAIN FOR THE PEOPLE AND FARMS IN THE AREA. IN ADDITION, THE PROPOSED SITE IS RIGHT BESIDE A CAMPING AREA.

We support the government of Ontario’s commitment to protect and conserve water for families today and for future generations. Now this commitment has to translate into MEANINGFUL POLICY TO PROTECT GROUND WATER.
