I am commenting on the proposal for an interim combined sewer to support development at 955 Lake Sore 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.

This proposal 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 and the quality of the lake as an attraction for Canadian and international visitors.

The province has not held any consultations about this work with the public. This proposal only benefits private sector initiatives and is NOT in the public interest. It threatens the stability of the lake ecosystem in a time of severe biodiversity loss.

Please deny this permit.
