A rally asking the Ontario government to repeal Bill 5 – legislation that greenlights the York1 landfill project near Dresden – is taking place July 3.
To be held at Rotary Park at 136 George St. in Dresden, the event will feature speeches by Ontario NDP leader Marit Stiles, Walpole Island First Nation Chief Leela Thomas as well as Chatham-Kent municipal officials.
According to Dresden Citizens Against Reckless Environmental Disposal board chair Stefan Premdas, it’s hoped the rally will spur the province to re-institute a full environmental assessment on the development proposed by the Mississauga-based company.
The rally will run from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and all are welcome. For more information, contact dresdencared@gmail.com.
