Call to Action:
Time To Show St Marys Our United Opposition

On Thursday November 29th, 2007 St Marys Cement CBM is holding a second Public Information Centre Meeting regarding their ongoing Haul Route Study for the proposed Flamborough Quarry. The meeting will be held from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Carlisle Golf and Country Club, a presentation is scheduled for 7:00 p.m.

We'd like you to be there!

For over three years now, we have been protesting this application to develop the eighth largest quarry in Canada, third largest in Ontario, (by estimated production volume), in the midst of our established communities. The application situates the proposed quarry on lands that environmentalists describe as being unique in southern Ontario for their combination of natural features. The quarry, which would in fact be an open pit industrial mine, would operate up to 40 metres into the same water table we use to supply drinking water to our communities, it could impact up to 3.6 million gallons of water a day, and according to the documentation submitted as part of the application bring 1140 gravel truck trips through our communities on peak days. That is outrageous!

We promised that our anger would turn to resolve, and our resolve into action, and that is exactly what has happened. Demonstrate your personal outrage by attending this meeting and let your concerns be heard.
