Caledon already has over 2…

Caledon already has over 2,500 acres of gravel pits and the scarring of this community can be seen from a satellite. Our diminishing green space and ground water is not something to take lightly. We know there are recyclable alternatives to gravel and asphalt so why aren't we utilizing this technology? We moved to Caledon Village almost 24 years ago because it was a quiet (except for the trucks) small community with natural wildlife, trails and plenty of things to do without all the concrete and traffic associated with any kind of sprawl. The wildlife is constantly squeezed from their own habitat to the point of either extinction or even extraction because of their own needs to feed themselves and survive. It's time big money stopped paving this earth and tried to appreciate it just a bit more. We are all hypocrites of this land but like the animals we have to live somewhere and if you ask anyone here they will say that sharing with nature is much better than bricks and asphalt. Remember, you can't drink or eat money. You want to create tourism, then why don't you let people have their own on site businesses without charging the massive development fees to them. We realize you need to generate money for upkeep and these businesses could bring you those funds but don't shake them upside-down before they might even start an idea. Most people can't afford those fees. In the end it won't matter what I say here or anyone else for that matter. You are just practising the protocols and big money will continue to carve up this land. Stop the sprawl signs are everywhere up here so why don't you let us be green and go to where the damage has already been done.
