The walk to protest the Highland Companies proposed 2,300-acre mine in Melancthon Township will start at MPP Jim Wilson’s Collingwood constituency office and head along Hume Street to finish at MP Kellie Leitch’s office. Other groups that have confirmed their participation are the Mohawk First Nation from Kanekota, The North Dufferin Agricultural and Community Taskforce (NDACT), and the Green Party. NDACT chair Carl Cosack said he is delighted to have the opportunity to address the crowd.
I hope to be able to say to the rally that they owe it to themselves to get informed and make a good decision about the largest open pit mine proposal in Canada, the second largest on this continent,” said Cosack.
....this is a non political party partisan issue because it affects whoever is in government with both the rewrite of the aggregate resource act and the decision of what to do with this mega quarry proposal.
