demonstrated at Queens park this week about the plan to fill an Acton quarry with garbage About people carrying balloons banners placards and in one case a toilet seat around the neck converged on the Legislature Shouting Stop the Dump and Save Our Water the group tried to get Environment Minister Ruth Gner to halt the application of Reclamation Systems plan to infill the quarry before it came to an en vironmental assessment hearing The group also towed along with them a 400foot long name petition against the dump which Noel later tabled in the House Barbara Halsall president of the POWER group told the crowd that if the setting hearing proceeded the first private sector landfill site to come under the Environmental Assessment Act people could ex pect our internationally famous Bruce Trail to become a hike from one garbage dump to the next She reminded the crowd of past promises by Gner and now Premier Bob that a dump should never be allowed on the Niagara Escarpment which is designated a United Nations Biosphere in recognition of its unique environmental qualities Now were here to make sure some of those promises are kept Halsall said POWER director Doug Young took off his Rolex watch smashing it to the ground and vowing it will not be repaired un til the province stops the RSI plan Now I ask you is this the No Difference Party or is this the We Never Deliver the Pro mises we made party Young asked Halton Centres Liberal Barbara Sullivan told the crowd Its easy to see that noone in Halton Hills wants this Local actress and POWER member Lois attracted Barbara Halsall much media attention when dressed to resemble she impersonated the environment minister copying Griers Irish ac cent almost to perfection Hills Mayor who was escorted from a waiting limousine to the microphone gave a speech the crowd wanted to hear that RSIs application would be thrown out before a hearing Gner of course told the crowd she would not arbitrarily do that and face court action because she had faith in the Environmen Assessment Act Town Mayor Miller said his ancestors would turn in their graves if they thought garbage was going to be dumped on the escarpment He appealed to Gner to act saying somebody has to start making decisions good decisions for the people The town would have to go without many hoped for projects including a seniors home and new if money had to be spent fighting the project at en assessment hear ings he said MPP Noel Duignan did not speak at the rally but he later brought the issue up in the Legislature asking Gner again to reject an

unilaterally reject the of Reclamation Systems Inc to dump at the Acton quarry Under the Environmental Assessment Act an act which I as minister am pledged to uphold an act which I believe is there for the protection of the en I have no right in law to reject that application ar bitrarily and without a hearing to date said to the heckling crowd Such an action could result in legal action she told members of the Protect Our Water and En vironmental Resources group in Hills I ask you to think very carefully before demanding an arbitrary and outright rejection of that process by the minister of any government Because the consequences of an action for any government that did that are twofold In the first place the proponents could go to the courts and the pro ponents could challenge my right Contd on Page
