<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>thanks for that detailed update Lulu- can
someone remind me when and where is the next GREN meeting please? In
addition to helping the fish, can someone explain what the benefits of this
cleanup initiative in the Grand described in first paragraph is for humans? I
imagine there must be some for them to spend that much money on it -does mean
they're still adding ammonia but its toxic effects are greatly lessened?

points of effluent in the Grand, up to 100% of the male Rainbow Darter fish
had eggs in their testes in one of the highest incidents of endocrine
disruption at the global level. Once new measures were implemented to reduce
effluent and ammonia, the levels fell to just 29% in the first year. The
region changed the aeration tank to reduce toxic ammonia in 2012. After 3
years the numbers dropped below upstream levels of less than 10%. The
treatment plant upgrade is part of $320 million in work expected to be
completed in late 2018 to 2019. Thanks to Mark Servos, the Canada
Research Chair in Water Quality Protection and his team from the University of
Waterloo for making this possible. Thanks as well to our Municipal and
Regional agencies who had the good sense to act on this. This gives great hope
to communities at the International level experiencing similar
issues.</FONT></DIV>

gravel pits are assessed for property taxes is removing millions from public
funding. In Wellington County alone they saw a $6 million dollar
loss. <BR>“The bottom line is that most County pits were valued between
$40,000 to $50,000 an acre and now the same pits would be valued at less than
$10,000 an acre,” said County Councillor Pierre Brianceau.<BR>The total
assessed value of Erin’s four active pits has been cut from $97.2 million to
$68.1 million. That translates to a tax loss of $559,323, including $257,615
in County taxes, $103,516 in Town taxes and $198,190 in education
taxes. <BR>Puslinch, with 14 pits, was hit the hardest with $2.4 million
less in tax revenue.<BR>The overall write-off for municipalities county-wide

fight the change. The County itself is out $3 million.<BR><FONT

Line 9. They were charged with endangered life with possible life sentences.
The reason for the lock down is because they believe line is not safe and that
it violates Treaty Rights. .They callled Enbridge before the lock down
happened. For Enbridge to prove their claims were reasonable, they would have
to prove endangerment of life and admit their pipe can't handle backflow. It
was a Catch 22. Enbridge dropped all charges and a peace bond was set in place
for 18 months to keep the three away from Enbridge property. . </DIV>

dedicated his life to working on solutions to restore Indigenous Sovereignty
as a means to implement greater social equity with Canada and First Nation's
people and to prioritize environmental protections. He wrote many books
voicing concerns that Canada is still taking a colonial approach by setting
terms without our input and working without regard for the UN Declaration for
the Rights of Indigenous People (UNDRIP) To foster a true partnership it is
important to recognize self determination and ratify UNDRIP and start building
the future based on our shared values to close the gaps of social inequities.
It is do-able. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
