Thanks to Waterloo MPP @CFifeKW for inviting us to Queen's Park for Question Period today. Interesting watching the opposition in action and also touring the historic legislature this afternoon. Thank you for continuing to speak up for the best interests of the community.
There were 50 letters from residents in the agenda package for the March 6 council meeting, and 40 more in the one for March 20. All oppose the Township's capitulation on the Hallman Pit. Kudos to Wilmot council for keeping their election promise of uniting the community.
Thanks to @PickelPressCTV for letting residents speak when council tried to shut them down #WatReg kitchener.ctvnews.ca/gave-us-a-suck…
Photos from the @WilmotTownship meeting on January 13, 2020 when the citizens of Wilmot first delegated en masse and voiced their concerns about the Hallman Pit to Township council.
It is my position that Regional and Township Councils failed to uphold their duty to endorse the community's position, defend the inadequacies identified by CSGW experts, and the (unanimous) decision made by Wilmot Council in 2022 to deny the necessary (municipal) zone change

@csgw_wr “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has.” Quote from anthropologist Margaret Mead
Great to connect with Wilmot folks at the Citizens for Safe Ground Water gathering tonight! Protecting our ground water needs to be a key municipal election issue 💧💧 #saveourfarmland #protectwater @csgw_wr #onpoli
This is an excerpt from my motion requesting a moratorium on aggregate extraction licenses, which was unanimously supported by my fellow council members. I've shown consistent leadership when it comes to balancing growth with protecting farmland and our communities.
19 Municipalities have passed Council motions supporting a moratorium on new gravel mining approvals in Ontario. In Waterloo Region, Cambridge, North Dumfries, Wilmot, and Woolwich Township. reformgravelmining.ca/municipal-supp… #thisiswilmot @RGMC_Ontario
Another reason to stop putting water in plastic bottles
Only 9% of all plastic waste ever made globally has been recycled. If your bathroom sink is overflowing, you don’t reach for the mop to soak up the overflow, you turn off the tap. This is what we need to do with plastics. #BreakFreeFromPlastic theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
“We’re in an election year for those politicians & they should be put on notice that this is something that municipalities/residents who live in areas that have gravel pits want to make an election issue & they should be prepared to answer those questions.” Clr. Merlihan Woolwich
Thank you Wilmot Township Councillors Cheryl Gordijk & @AngieHallman for leading the motion on a moratorium for all new gravel mining approvals. @csgw_wr #onpoli #wilmot #reformgravelmining #damncampaign #wilmot #onmuni #onlocalgov #BarnOrganizingWorks #YTP
