Hey folks!
On Saturday October 8th at 2pm we will be having a meeting against the Mega Quarry at Fresh Start on 40 Baker St. for residents from in and around Guelph. The purpose of this meeting is to learn more about the quarry from each other, have a place to bring up new ideas and strategies, to find ways to support NDACT and to let one another know what we’re up to in terms of defending the proposed site.
We would love to hear what you have to say!

Petition seeking a Federal Environmental Assessment
Please find enclosed a copy of a petition I have drafted seeking a federal environmental assessment with respect to the proposed mega-quarry. My intention is to present as many signatures as possible in the House of Commons when it resumes sitting in September.

Ottawa Action
Just passing this along!
Yesterday I got to take part in an inspiring day of action against the tar sands and the proposed Keystone XL pipeline here in Ottawa. It was the largest climate-related civil disobedience action in Canadian history and I wanted to share this video I made with you… I hope you will consider sending your own message to Harper (by writing a letter, calling his office, or through other creative means).

The DoLime quarry is situated within two kilometres of eight of the City of Guelph’s water… Read the rest
