<DIV>Good take on this heritage Lulu....it was stated by someone, whom I won't
name but ought not to have folded so quickly..."Yeah, it'll go through....the
province needs the gravel and sand etc for the roads. My
response was "they don't need it from that historic site. let them go
elsewhere The noise and dirt and trucks will destroy a lot of
lives and culture"" Hope they can stop Capitol Paving from getting the
licence . What a disaster for that area !<BR></DIV>

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial">I would like to
share concerns in regards for the need to protect cultural
landscapes by way of the PPS 2005. </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial"><BR>In the area
of West Montrose there is a proposed quarry pit set to be built
in very close proximity to the Kissing Bridge, which is a local
landmark that was featured in the major motion picture, the
Bridges of Madison County. This area contains Mennonite schools,
churches and it's culture is unique in this fast pace modern
world. The area draws tourism, particularly honeymooners who
with to relive the romance of the film. This area may
qualify for heritage status, yet the designation of the quarry
is preceding the assessment of the area. Using the PPS 2005, we
could impliment a precautionary approach to mandate that
assessment of potential heritage areas must take place prior to
final approval of development/quarry permits. To view many
of the concerns that area residents have about the West Montrose
Quarry application by Capital Paving, and how this proposal
could put the area Mennonites at risk, please visit the
following website: <BR><BR><A

rel=nofollow>http://www.bridgekeepers.ca/</A><BR><BR>Here is
another example from Guelph. There was a dispute about a Walmart
that was set to be built adjacent to the Ignatius Jesuit Centre,
a world-renowned religious centre with two historic cemeteries.
The matter was brought to court and the challenge claims that
the proposed commercial centre will substantially interfere with
the religious beliefs and practices of individuals of many
faiths, who use the Ignatius Jesuit Centre and adjoining lands.
It could be argued that an intervention solely based on economic
and property rights and interests has the potential to affect
Charter litigation all across Canada. Eventually the matter
was resolved by way of out of court settlement when Walmart
agreed to place a wall with willow trees to help block the noise
and visual interference. To view the details of the settlement
please visit here: </DIV>

size=2>In my view, there should be greater courtesy and a
higher level of respect towards the public in cases like this.
It should not have taken the fiscal sacrifice of concerned
citizens to have to address this issue in the courts. The truth
is, there are large corporations who simply don't care, who lord
their fiscal monies to get what they want done regardless of
what a community feels. This cannot be allowed. Using the
PPS we can mandate that resolutions of issues like this be a
condition of final approval. </FONT></DIV>
