The proposed Dresden landfill could have serious consequences for the Josiah Henson Museum of African-Canadian History, a landmark dedicated to preserving the legacy of Josiah Henson, a key figure in the Underground Railroad and abolitionist movement.

Pollution from the landfill could affect the surrounding land and air quality, diminishing the experience for visitors. The museum is a significant cultural and educational site, attracting visitors from across Canada. A nearby landfill could discourage tourism, affecting local businesses. The museum stands as a symbol of resilience and freedom. I fear that placing a landfill so close to this landmark undermines its historical significance.
