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.
