President's Message

 

Spring has finally arrived and with it comes our annual membership drive.  Membership chair Betty Karsh has been busy organizing this year’s campaign and most of you who have volunteered to canvas should have received your kits by now.  This is our only fund raising event for the year so when the volunteer canvasser calls, please support your community association and purchase your annual membership.  Your membership fees help in the publishing of our monthly newsletter and allow us to continue to support community events such as Winterfest, Earth Day, Heritage Day and the Summer Concert Series.  Without this financial support, some of these events would not be possible....

HIGHLAND CREEK TREATMENT PLANT PETITION

 

OUR EFFORTS CONTINUE: SIGN THE CCRA'S ONLINE PETITION OR PAPER PETITION AND EMAIL US AT PLANNING@CCRANEWS.COM TO TAKE A LAWN SIGN !

 

Read the CCRA's Action Plan against Trucking of Sludge to find out how to help our next steps.

 

The Highland Creek Treatment Plant multihearth incinerators are at the end of their service life. As a result, the City of Toronto’s Biosolids Master Plan (BMP), a six-year study and environmental assessment, recommended that fluidized bed incineration be the preferred method for processing future solid waste at the Highland Creek Treatment Plant. In May 2011, however, City Council went against staff recommendation and voted to pursue trucking of sludge.

 

Please sign the C.C.R.A.’s online petition or paper petition that asks City Council to reconsider its decision to truck solid waste at the Highland Creek Treatment Plant or at minimum require a comprehensive and consultative environmental assessment of this method.

 

More information on this issue and petition can be found in the November 2011 Conservation Report.
