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. Thank you
