[All] Hallman Pit Application - Wilmot Township

[Kevin Thomason]

Good evening GREN Folks,

Below is an urgent appeal from the Citizens for Safe Ground Water, the Nith Valley Ecoboosters, and other Wilmot Township Environmental/Community Groups:

As you may have heard the new Wilmot Mayor and five new Wilmot Councillors have abruptly reversed course and with no public information or public meetings have changed Township opposition to this aggregrate pit to Township support for the application.

An emergency community meeting was held Feb. 26th after this group learned that Wilmot Township will no longer be supporting their opposition to the Hallman Pit at the Ontario Land Tribunal.  Here's some actions you can take to support CSGW.  
Delegate to Wilmot Council on March 6th at 7 p.m. Register by March 1st at  https://forms.wilmot.ca/Clerks/Delegation-Request-Form <https://forms.wilmot.ca/Clerks/Delegation-Request-Form> (Note early registration is needed for this meeting)
Contact your Ward Councillor and Mayor - Contact info is on the Wilmot Township website
Attend the March 6th Council meeting in person or on line. CSGW will email a link.
Sign up for CSGW emails https://www.safeh2o.ca/ <https://www.safeh2o.ca/>  (go to "Take Action")
Here's a link with a media report on the Feb. 26th meeting.
