</FONT><FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial">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.</FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"> <BR>
</FONT><FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial">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. <BR>
Hope to see you!!!!</FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"> <BR>

</FONT></FONT><FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial">1:00 PM to 0:00 0 <BR>
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 Paris’ wellhead protection area (within 100? of wellheads) . The pit’s proponents plan on digging below the water table exposing our town’s 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, order a lawn sign, sign up to our mailing list or like the Concerned Citizens Of Brant (CCOB) Facebook page to keep informed. <FONT COLOR="#0000FF">www.ccob.ca</FONT></FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"> <<a href="http://www.ccob.ca/">http://www.ccob.ca/</a>> <BR>
