I oppose this bill 5 . My children go to the schools in Dresden and the removal of the environment assessment for the proposed Dresden dump is crazy. York 1’s land literally is right across road from the welcome to Dresden sign. That is way too close.

Since January 2024 local citizens have been fighting the expansion of a long closed landfill, which more recently was a bomb disposal area and firing range for the Chatham-Kent Police, unless there is a thorough Environmental Assessment to ensure no toxic chemicals will seep into an adjoining creek.

I am extremely concerned that the proposed site will negatively impact the water supply and wildlife. I am very concerned that any government would bow to corporate pressure so easily but that seems to be what Conservative officials do.
I will seek a different path in future.

Please watch the attached presser at Queens park that explains the dangers to the proposed Landfill.
I am opposed the the removal of this environmental assessment.

A landfill in this area will have several detrimental impacts on the surrounding community. Including; posing a hazard to wildlife and the biodiversity, having a negative impact on the air quality, possibly causing water contamination, and posing traffic and safety concerns.

The original ECA document should be linked in any decision making process, given that reference is being made to the site's original use intent.

Dresden residents have shown you significant opposition and have repeatedly listed environmental concerns for this disproportionate landfill 800 meters from our town and citizens.
The site is adjacent to Molly's Creek, which feeds into the

I fear for our quiet little town to have all these trucks going through the town at all hours. This will ruin our quiet town and make it impossible to navigate the towns as there is only 1 stop light in the town. This will be detrimental to the ambiance and tranquility of the town
This proposal is extremely harmful to the town and people of Dresden. It has no business being built here. It should go somewhere else that is not so close to schools and very important farmland. It will cause irreparable harm to the people and land of Dresden. Shame on you Doug Ford!
I strongly oppose removal of the environmental assessment requirements for the York1 waste disposal site project through the proposed Protect Ontario by Unleashing our Economy Act, 2025.

The removal of the environmental assessment needed to determine if the proposed York 1 dump that is to be located just outside Dresden is unjust, immoral and deeply disturbing. The dump is to be located along the Sydenham river.

This proposal is unconstitutional and simply wrong on so many levels. Dresden has been targeted by York1 for their own profits, convenience and solely corporate greed. They are being backed by governments who also seem to be motivated by dollars and not what is truly right and wrong.

Good Morning,
Att: Minister of the Environment
Please read the work your staff has produced and ask yourself if you can in good conscience enable the donors of your party to cause a catastrophic explosive event that would harm an entire town.

Environmental assessments serve a critical purpose and have been put in place for good reason - to protect human health. There is no justification for this attack on our environment.
First and foremost I am a conservative and I'm all about business. As a small business owner I am required to follow the rules of the Province of Ontario, as annoying as that can be sometimes. I had to obtain an ECA to legally operate my business just like everyone else.

"Unleashing the Economy"?? How about unleashing Doug Ford's need to simply steamroll everything in his path using the economy as his modus operandi. Removing these environmental study requirements has got to be the most asinine thing I've heard.

This is about corruption and political favors. $200,000 goes to the Ford campaign from various family members that owns this York 1 group of companies and Ford puts a special clause in Bill 5 allowing no EA on the Dresden landfill issue. The clause is totally dedicated to the Dresden landfill.

The Sydenham is one of the most biodiverse rivers in Canada. The place where they are looking into putting the dump, there is a creek that has a lot of streams leading directly to the river.

Not everyone sees it but the York 1 dump proposal is going to affect a giant aquatic ecosystem, the Sydenham River. With the proposal of the new dump in Dresden it is not only going to affect the community of Dresden it is also going to majorly affect the sydenham river.
