Given what is happening with…

Given what is happening with threats to drinking water in Collingwood, Erin, Puslinch and Centre Wellington, giving a ten year term permit to take water to have it removed from the watershed is shortsighted, irresponsible and foolish.

Hillsburg is struggling to create a water treatment and muncipal water system and having ground water removed is the last thing they need at this time. The water bottler has taken enough from the ground water there. The population there is destined to grow given the Places to Grow legislation. They are in a difficult situation already.

We see what unbridled growth does to water supply in Collingwood. This is replicated in other communities like the race to get water to satisfy growth in Centre Wellington.

Giving away precious water to bottlers that pollute with plastic packaging and remove water from the watershed is just wrong headed in 2021! Who knows the degree of water insecurity in Ontario by 2031!
American hedge funds taking water from Canadians is a scary option!
