A new petition has been launched to repeal Ontario’s Bill 5 and stop the York1 Dresden landfill.
According to Dresden C.A.R.E.D. (Citizens Against Reckless Environmental Disposal) chair Stefan Premdas, the group engaged with Ontario opposition leaders and environmental groups to “wordsmith” the existing petition.
The goal, said Premdas, is to block the Ford government from putting an environmental assessment back on the project in order for it to proceed.
“We don’t want Ford to do that,” he said, after consulting with party leaders including Green Party of Ontario leader Mike Schreiner. “We need to repeal all of Bill 5.”
The survey can be found on the Dresden C.A.R.E.D. Facebook page. Copies can be dropped off at Magicbridge & Co. Wellness Boutique at 348 St. George St. in Dresden.
