Why is the government pushing forward a proposed landfill in Dresden without the full environmental assessment???? This assessment was promised to the town of Dresden and now it is being taken away ????!!!!.

This decision takes away any trust our town has had being left fighting for our health and safety.

It also threatens our freshwater ecosystems — the Sydenham River — which is home to over 20 species at risk.

The site sits on a floodplain, and could receive up to 500 tonnes of asbestos waste daily. The risks of groundwater contamination, toxic leachate runoff, and methane emissions are real and irreversible.

The town does not want this landfill and it is obvious the site being close to town will cause unlimited destruction, chaos and harm to all of us and our children and the next generation to come

Put yourselves in our place and tell me you would want all of this pollution and poisons into your water and nearby native lands

How sad we have to fight for something so wrong!!
