Please contact your municipal and provincial representatives and urge them to take action!
Sample message:
“Stop the removal of sand and dumping of clay immediately. The operation of this sand pit requires a Certificate of Authorization and the other requirements of provincial law must be respected. Hydrogeological tests and a source protection plan are necessities. The pit must not operate unless both extraction of sand and addition of clay are certified as clean, safe and legal.”
