WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 4, 1996 THE GEORGETOWN GEMINI POWER AGM spotlights environmental changes BY JAMIE HARRISON The Georgetown Gemini The annual general meeting of POWER shed light on the changes to environmental law since the Progressive Con- servative government took power in 1995. Kathleen Cooper of the Canadian Environmental Law Association was on hand to outline the various changes and how those changes could affect the environment in Halton Hills. POWER president Barb Halsall was pleased with Cooper's presentation and amazed at the amount of leg- islation that could impact on the area. "(Cooper) brought a lot of information that there have been major changes in legis- lation to the environment in the Province of Ontario. These are changes that peo- ple know nothing about," Halsall said. She mentioned that one option currently being con- PONTIAC BUICK Cadillac cmc eS ee OVER 100 NEW VEHICLES! sidered is the privatization of water resources in Ontario. "Margaret Thatcher tried that in Great Britain in 1989 and they've had terrible re- sults with that -- some water bills have increased by up to 400 percent, and over 20,000 homes had their water sup- ply shut off over the year," Halsall said. "That could have a huge impact on us, forever. Under NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement), Canada would have to con- tinue supplying water even if we have shortages." Following Cooper's pres- entation, certificates of ap- preciation were given to Rita Landry and Diane van de Valk who worked with FOAD (Furiously Opposed to Acton Dumping) to stop the location of a dump on the Niagara Escarpment. © Van de Valk said she felt the award was for "sticking with it as POWER has stuck with it."
