I’m just a kid, but I care about where I live. If there are going to be big trucks driving around all day with 6,000 tonnes of waste, it’s going to make the roads really busy and dangerous. Read more

I may not live in Chatham, but my family lives along the very roads these dump trucks will travel every single day. This isn’t just a line on a map—it’s our front yards, our driveways, our kids waiting for the school bus, and our daily lives. Read more

As a business owner located not far from the route these dump trucks will travel, I’m deeply concerned about what this landfill proposal means for our safety, our roads, and the well-being of our community. My staff, customers, and delivery drivers use these roads every day. Read more

I work at Conagra, and like so many others in this region, my job depends on the health of our land, water, and crops. We’re proud to be known as the tomato capital of Canada, but that identity and our livelihoods would now be at risk. Read more

like so many families in this area, I rely on the fresh, locally grown produce that fills our grocery store shelves. Our region is known for its rich farmland and high-quality tomatoes, and that’s something we’re proud of. Read more

I’m almost retired here, and after years of hard work, I chose to settle in this community for its peaceful, rural way of life. The idea that a landfill could bring in 6,000 tonnes of waste every day, just down the road, threatens everything I’ve worked for. Read more

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. Read more

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. Read more
