[All] Fw: CELEBRATE FOOD AND WATER FIRST AUGUST 18, 2013 IN HONEYWOOD

[Louisette Lanteigne]

Hi folks

Thought Gren and/or Smart Growth Waterloo Region might be interested in hosting a display at this upcoming event in Honeywood, site of the Highland Mega Quarry. It's great for networking with folks in the Northern part of our watershed and a  fantastic way to get the word out about the ongoing OMB hearing re: Country Side Line which will place farmlands at risk.  

Also a good venue for the folks at Brant County to share their Quarry Pit challenges.
