As a mother who moved from Toronto to this rural community, I did so to give my children a healthier, quieter life surrounded by nature. Not to live next to Toronto’s garbage!!!! We chose this place for the clean air, safe roads, and strong sense of community.

I am concerned with the proximity of the proposed landfill to my home. My son and I both have asthma and this will be detrimental to our health with all the dust and pollution. I am concerned with the value of my home and the ability to sell it someday for fair market value.

I am a school bus driver and I am very concerned with the safety of the students and myself. The added traffic from 700 trucks a day and the farm machinery already on the roadways is of great concern. How many accidents and injuries will it take to realize this in not a good location.
