I am a 6th-generation farmer in the Dresden area. My family has been working this land for well over a century — long before any talk of landfills or waste facilities. This farm isn’t just my livelihood; it’s my heritage, my legacy, and what I hope to pass down to the next generation.

This is a very reckless move for our government.
They are putting peoples lives at risk.
Are they going to reimburse the residents for their market value housing when they can’t breathe the air because of all the concrete and silica dust in the air?

"We are proposing to remove environmental assessment requirements for the York1 waste disposal site project through the proposed Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, 2025".

Not only will this impact our infrastructure it will impact our property values.
My husband and I chose Dresden as a place to raise our daughter 36 years ago and it became our home.
