There is No Water to Waste: Save the Water: Fight the Dump

Your immediate support and solidarity is needed in Simcoe County,  
Ontario to STOP the county from building a GARBAGE dump site on top  
of the Alliston aquifer (an underwater lake stretching from Georgian  
Bay to Lake Ontario- forever destroying some of the purest water in  
the world. In 2006, scientist William Shotyk after testing it likened  
this groundwater to "the cleanest layers of ancient arctic ice".

Community members have fought tirelessly against the Site 41 project  
for over fifteen years but it is scheduled to open this fall and  
construction or 'de-watering' of the site HAS BEGUN. . As of two  
weeks ago local residents and aboriginal women protesters have  
blockaded all entrances to the site. In their last ditch attempt to  
stop this disaster from happening. However this week the County  
(using taxpayers money) have attempted to sue protesters for $160 000  
and have received an interim injunction against any further  
blockades. Meaning protesters can expect to be arrested for contempt  
of court between now and when the court will hear the full case on  
Wednesday July 29, 2009.

Please get informed and find a way to get involved. http://

More than ever, we need to support the community, help to oppose the  
dump site and say NO to the destruction of a pristine water source in  
our own backyard

We need people to come on the bus next Wednesday.

We need people to contact Dalton McGuinty and their local MPP.

We need financial support for supplies and new signs.

We need to have the word spread so tell your friends.
