There should be a full enviornmental assessment at the proposed York 1 site at Dresden because of Dresden"s status as an important heritage area. Every year the area aytracts tourists as well as filmakers and researchers and writers drawn by its unique history. This includes the Josiah Henson Museum of africanCanadian History (formerly Uncle Toms Cabin Historic Site) but various other provincially significant siteswithin the town itself. Townspeople over the past 20 years have been actively developing the town as a heriage tourismdestination through the development of extesive parks and gardens and the Trillium Trail Historical Walk as well as bicycle repair stations an air bnb and specialty shops including 2 bakeries and anart gallery. The town has been attracting people as visitors and guests bexaise of its charming ambience and this important economic development will be threatened if York 1 is allowed to develop its site just 900 metres from the town. Please order an immediate environmental assessment that will investigate this plus the natural heritage and endangered species of our river.
