[All] Record report on Snowdump cancellation

[Yvonne Fernandes]

Hello Everyone,

Today's Record reported on the cancellation of the Snow dump at the Goodrich location which backs onto the Petrified Springs and is in very close proximity to Hidden Valley.

To read the article go to The Record's website: www.therecord.com

and look for the article on the front page by Terry Pender.

Below is the letter I wrote to Neil Taylor and Gord Nichols congratulating them on their hard work in pursuing this issue!

Good morning Neil and Gord,
I had to write first thing this morning when I read about the cancellation of the snow dump! Hurray for both of you for working so hard on applying pressure to the appropriate agencies.
Neil, I know that you raised this earlier in the year and I am so pleased to see a small change in attitude at city hall. 
Gord, despite what they say we all know that they are doing it because of the pressure from environmental activists! They just don't want the public to know this but hopefully they can read between the lines.
They are considering doing a major change to the stream bed of Strasburg Creek here in my area and I have been lobbying the city based on the environmental impact as well as the cost. It is slatted to cost $1.5M!! That is a huge cost for doing something that already works.
We all need to keep fighting together to apply pressure on the city and region to protect the countryside line especially when you read "because it was a wellhead protection area we had to do a lot of things to filter the snow".
Bringing in the concern about the Third Pipe line will hopefully impact any possibility of development on water recharge areas/wellhead protection areas!
Keep up the pressure and great work! have a wonderful day.
