Below is the notice for a major rally this Saturday concerning the proposed
gravel pit over Paris¹ water supply.

Also GREN will be meeting in early February with groups in the Brant-Paris
area to discuss Grand River watershed issues and ways we can more
effectively cooperate. We¹ll send you a notice for that meeting anon.

Hi there, 
The Concerned Citizens Of Brant has a public awareness meeting next Sat @
1PM. We have an outstanding lineup of speakers and would appreciate all the
support we can get. Please pass this on to as many people as you can and
please plan to be there.
The CCOB has recently submitted an application to the Environmental
Commissioner to have this licence reviewed. We have a solid case that we
built with the help of CELA and ultimately force these issues and questions
into the public. Our local MPP recently made the comment that they would
like to keep our case as an isolated issue to prevent a domino effect. Our
case will set a presence for all WHPA's in Ontario and hopefully, for all
pits. 
Hope to see you!!!!


MAUDE BARLOW + DAVID SUZUKI FOUNDATION'S FAISAL MOOLA SPEAKING AT PARIS
FAIRGROUNDS
1:00 PM to 0:00 0 
Maude is an amazing speaker and protector of Canada's water. Also speaking
is Faisal Moola from the David Suzuki Foundation. The proposed gravel pit is
planned right on top of a non-renewable water supply in Paris¹ wellhead
protection area (within 100? of wellheads) .  The pit¹s proponents plan on
digging below the water table exposing our town¹s water to the possible
contamination. The Region of Waterloo, a recognized leader in the research
of gravel pits & wellhead protection, has tried to prohibit gravel pits in
their source protection plan but has been denied. The source protection
committee has tried to list gravel pit related threats to our drinking water
but have been denied. Has the need for aggregates been placed as a priority
over our health & safety? We need your help! We cannot stop this alone and
county council is powerless to do anything without thousands of supporters.
Attend this presentation, connect people with our site, become a member,

Citizens Of Brant (CCOB) Facebook page to keep informed. www.ccob.ca
