The proposed Dresden landfill could have serious consequences for the Josiah Henson Museum of African-Canadian History, a landmark dedicated to preserving the legacy of Josiah Henson, a key figure in the Underground Railroad and abolitionist movement.

If the bulk of the construction and demolition waste is generated in the heavily populated areas such as the GTA, Oshawa, or Kitchener-Guelph then why in the world would we truck it 2-3 hours away to Dresden. Imagine the carbon spewing into the air from the estimated 700 trucks per day.

Also super close to Sydenham River and this puts many endangered species at risk.
