Last summer, residents in our neighborhood were under a full outdoor water ban due to extreme heat and drought.
➡️ We were told to limit water use
➡️ Outdoor use was restricted to protect supply
➡️ This ensured water for essential needs & emergencies

My family and I live in a neighboring subdivision to this location. Last year we were on a water ban for a couple of months. We cannot commit this massive water intake by Galibier. Being this short of water already is a safety issue. We firmly disagree with this going forward.

Extremely concerning for people who rely on that water for their daily needs when there was a water ban last summer. What if there was an emergency and fire trucks need that water?

Serious concern over water availability.. I live less then a mile away and last summer we had a full water ban for the duration of the summer and it wasn’t an unusually dry summer or if it was statistically nothing unusual for summers to come.

I object to this proposal. Too many communities are running out of water. Waterloo is a good example of irresponsible water use and the impacts on the aquifer. This is a high risk proposal that needs to be refused.
To Whom It May Concern,
I am submitting this formal objection regarding Environmental Registry of Ontario (ERO) Notice #026-0411, relating to the proposed renewal of a Permit to Take Water (No. 1036-C85QXZ) for Galibier Materials.

This water permit renewal is a Cat 3 (SIGNIFICANT unacceptable environmental impact!) and has been submitted by Galibier Inc with absolutely NO supporting documentation for need or projected impact on the protected water recharge system beneath, other well water systems close by or the delicate ecos

I oppose this! Why is it that we as tax paying residents have water bans to care for our lawns that are blanketed with their pollution while this polluter gets a 365 day 24 hour pass to use all the water they like?
This is an extremely inappropriate project that will markedly increase the rate of climate change burdens on local households especially in high summer. It will exponentially be worse by the 10-year period closure.

No private company should be taking a bunch of water to wash their rocks. This is for everybody and one day you're not going to be able to drink the money when all the water is gone
I do not support this proposal. The risk for the land and water, as well as agriculture in the area. This would go against the best interests of many for the benefit of one. Please take into consideration all concerns on this matter.
It is simply not believable that the Ontario government does not understand the wealth inherent in fresh water at this time. Fresh water sources do not magically make more fresh water when you deplete them.
