I am contacting you because I am concerned about the health of a small tributary that goes through the Pines of Georgina Golf course and makes its way to the mouth of the Pefferlaw River. 

I’ve seen this creek strangled over the last years and it’s getting worse. 
I’ve been concerned about the habitat loss and that it can’t provide the food and shelter various species need in order to survive. 

People are speaking about climate change. I realize that some species can’t survive and adapt to changes that our rising temperatures will cause along with weather extremes. 

The Pines of Georgina is discharging water directly into this creek. I believe this water poses serious risks to our ecosystem and the species that inhabit them. 
I don’t know what types of chemicals and fertilizers are in this discharged water. This water comes from their ponds and ditches. 

There has been no testing or formal documentation as to what’s actually discharged into the creek, as far as I know. 

I’ve been speaking to both MOE and Lake Simcoe Conservation for years.  My concerns seem to fall on deaf ears. 

I have contacted the Town of Georgina and apparently this is not part of their jurisdiction. 

The MOE has an application from the Pines of Georgina to take water from this small tributary in order to irrigate their course. 

Will this water be discharged directly into the creek? Where will this excess water go?
Is this water polluted? I have no idea. 

 I have seen this creek full of fish and I have no idea what’s in there now … there’s an incredible amount of weeds that’s thriving. 
I no longer hear the bullfrogs or even see other frogs.

I have been reading the Pefferlaw River sub watershed papers and I do realize that’s it’s older but after reading it, I know I have every need to be worried about this permit.

I don’t agree with this permit.
