I strongly oppose the proposed Dresden landfill expansion and the Ford government’s attempt to bypass Ontario’s Environmental Assessment process.
This project is a direct threat to the health, safety, and economic future of Dresden and all of Chatham-Kent.
The decision to revoke Ontario Regulation 284/24 — which required a full Environmental Assessment — is not just irresponsible, it's dangerous. You are stripping away public safety mechanisms in favour of private waste companies with clear political ties to the current government.
The natural gas aquifer under this property could potentially level Dresden and surrounding area with an explosion. York1 knows this would never pass the EA and was just waiting for the throne speech to move forward with this landfill. This is extremely dangerous situation for our town.
