I am commenting on the
proposal for an interim
combined sewer to support
development at 955 Lake Shore
Boulevard (Ontario Place). I am
opposed to the proposal which
goes against decades of work by
the City of Toronto to separate
and replace combined sewers
across the city to prevent the
discharge of raw sewage into
Lake Ontario. It also flies in the
face of international agreements
to protect water quality and
habitat in the Great Lakes. This
effluent also risks human health
in terms of water quality at
beaches, fishing and the quality
of the lake as an attraction for
Canadian and international
visitors. The province has also
not held any consultations about
this work with the general
public.
This proposal to benefit private
sector initiatives, is not in the
public interest and threatens the
stability of the lake ecosystem in
a time of severe biodiversity loss.
Please deny this permit.
