The relocation relocation of this leaking radioactive radioactive waste is still ongoing. 2. Just north of the lake, closer to the 401 is the area that was proposed as the INTERIM INTERIM LANDFILL SITE FOR METRO TORONTO (N3). In the summer of 1988, the residents successfully successfully opposed the selection of this site and prevented the destruction of hundreds of acres of farmland, and dam-. age to the local environment. environment. 3. At the foot of the hill where you stood, you had a clear view of the LAIDLAW LANDFILL SITE. The residents residents of. this area have been fighting since 1983 to stop repeated attempts to expand this legal non-conforming' dump. The current expansion expansion proposal would destroy hundreds of acres of farmland farmland and serve as a receptacle receptacle for garbage from the Greater Toronto Area (G.T.A.). 4. Just north of the Laidlaw Laidlaw site, on the other side of Graham Creek, is an, automotive automotive SCRAPYARD. This legal, non-conforming' site contains over 250.000 tires.

Over the years, every area of our township has been forced to defend their immediate environment.. Is there any other township in Ontario that has had to contend contend with such continuous and pervasive attacks over such a long period of time?

The irony irony of this situation is that for years this Town has been a leader in advocating effective effective waste management, educating educating our school children and informing the public.
