This bill is overreaching and unethical. No one should be forced to live 1km from a landfill on land that has never had a full environmental assessment. The public and first nation peoples have a right to object and give their input into projects that directly endanger them and the environment. Read more

I strongly oppose the removal of the Environmental Assessment (EA) requirement for the proposed landfill in Dresden, Ontario. This site is 500 metres from homes, with York 1 admitting that the boundary could be as close as 30 feet from some people’s backyards! Read more

Who in their right mind thinks its okay to put a mega landfill on a flood zone, above critical well water sources and 1km from a town?! Dresden was promised a full environmental assessment and tariffs are an unethical excuse. Read more

I live in the town over, but I must say to put something like this right beside your constituents door is so not cool. Do you not have brains?? Please put something like this away from population, like up north somewhere less populated. Our health is in your hands.

We live only a few kilometers from this dump site. We eat the deer, drink water from our well, eat fish and ducks from the water. There is creatures found in the Sydenham watershed that are found nowhere else. What about our environmental rights as humans needing clean water and air. Read more

Removing environmental assessment requirements for the York1 waste site is a serious mistake. Waste disposal projects have long-term impacts on land, air, water, and nearby communities — they must be thoroughly reviewed. Read more

Which government members will stand up for the environment? Or, do you prefer to leave a legacy of having been people who helped destroy the planet? You are taking advantage of proposed American tariffs to manipulate regulatory regimes in order to enrich your associates. Read more

Dresden is much more than a small little town on a map. For the past 8 years, organizers of the award-winning Dresden Night Market have inspired residents and community groups in Dresden to join hands and build up this community into the vibrant town it is today. Read more
