Proposed Bill 5, "Protecting Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act," is not just a misleading title, it’s a calculated smokescreen, in fact, the devil’s in the detail.

This is an unsafe in so many ways. Children on school buses, children waiting beside the roads for the bus to arrive. Slow moving farm equipment that can’t be passed safely. Roadways are going to become congested and dangerous. All while up to 700 trucks arrive daily.

It's deeply concerning to hear about a proposed dump in Dresden, Ontario, especially given the reported reversal of the required Environmental Assessment (EA).

As a resident of Chatham Kent I am opposed to the removal of the environmental assessment for the decommissioned Dresden landfill. Landfill sites due to their controversial nature and smell, noise and traffic issues need to be studied.

Our clean environment is so ingrained into every fibre of our being in Chatham Kent. We fish these rivers, farm these lands to feed cities, we raise animals and environmentalists here.

1.Property is too close to Town of Dresden to legally have a landfill according to provincial legislation
2. Increase of traffic of trucks will require more maintenance of roads that is funded by the local municipalities, not York 1.

I live in Chatham-Kent and I am appalled that the environmental portion is being bypassed for a potential waste collection/management site! You clearly do not care how this could be a hazzard to our community, the native plants and animals, or the water that it could contaminate.

Removing the environmental assessment is very short-sighted and dangerous. For the sake of those in the community of Dresden, please do not deny them the opportunity to have the environmental assessment done.

This is not fair to the people of Dresden, ON. There are families and hardworking people who live in the community. This will impact the quality of life for these people in an unfair way. The situation warrants the environmental assessment.
Regarding the waste site for Dresden in Chatham Kent Ontario.
How can you possibly think removing the environmental assessments as an option?!?!?! Actual people live in this area!

Please do not put a dump this close to our town, we are a nice community who cares about our homes and community. Dresden has alot of Canadian history and is incredibly welcoming and nice and this honestly feels like a personal attack because we are a very nice place to live.

This is a dangerous game, Dresden being used for a dumping ground so close to the Sydenham and agricultural rich area can cause extreme harm. Not to mention Walpole island indigenous lands nearby.

Removing the environmental assessment for this landfill is a short-sighted, irresponsible move for the residents of Dresden, Chatham-Kent, and Lambton county, as well as the Sydenham watershed.

I am writing to add my name and comments to the list of people who are appalled that our provincial government is seeking to bypass environmental assessments in the case of the proposed Dresden dump.

I am not in agreement with the Ontario goverments attempt to forcefully put a major dump/ recycling/ what ever they decide in the future to dump there. This is way to close to the town of Dresden and the sydenham river watershed.

Please revoke Ontario regulation 284/24. I am voicing my concern to engage in civil action. I am asking you to protect our land and environment. I am asking you to consider my children and grandchildren health and future.

Please don't unleash a dump within 1000m of the town of Dresden.
The dump site that York1 chose also backs onto a tributary of the Sydenham River, which runs through town and is the habitat of many at-risk species.

Please don’t allow this proposal. Our community wants clean air, soil and water. We do now want noise and traffic pollution in our town less than 1km from this site. Our health is more important. There are other sites better for a landfill. Our infrastructure cannot handle the traffic and loads.
