[All] Good news from St. Catherines Ont.

[Louisette Lanteigne]

St. Catharines says end coal use now!  In
 response to a flurry of calls and letters from concerned residents, St.
 Catharines’ city council has unanimously supported the OCAA’s call for 
an early end to burning coal.  St. Catharines has now joined the cities 
of Hamilton, Kitchener and Guelph and Toronto's Board of Health in 
calling on the province to only use its coal plants in the event of a 
true power emergency.   This
 was a real victory for the people of St. Catharines and area who called
 and emailed the Mayor and Councillors urging them to support our 
resolution. Thank you to
 everyone who took the time to speak out on this important issue.  Let’s
 keep the pressure on for cleaner air, a healthier climate and fewer 
illnesses and asthma attacks through an early coal phase out!      Angela Bischoff, Outreach Director
