  1. January 16, 2007 - Letter of Complaint to Hon. Dalton McGuinty, Premier of Ontario:
    We believe that the Minister of Environment, Laurel Broten, needs to be accountable for her decision, and if she is not willing to discuss this issue with our municipalities or with us, then Premier McGuinty needs to do so.

    We have prepared a formal letter of Complaint to Premier McGuinty. If you agree, please sign your name and print or Email it to the following contacts (or modify the letter or write your own):

    Dalton McGuinty - Premier of Ontario, Legislative Building, Queen's Park, Toronto ON M7A 1A1
    Premier's Office Tel: 416-325-1941 - dmcguinty.mpp@liberal.ola.org
    Laurel Broten - lbroten.mpp@liberal.ola.org
    Leona Dombrowsky - ldombrowsky.mpp.co@liberal.ola.org
    John Gerretsen - jgerretsen.mpp@liberal.ola.org
    Laurie Scott - Environment Critic - CPC Party - laurie_scott@ontla.ola.org
    Peter Tabuns - Environment Critic - NDP Party - tabunsp-qp@ndp.on.ca

    Then, forward this email to everyone you know and ask him or her to do the same thing!

  2. Get Ontario Ministry of Health on Board
    We believe that the Ministry of Health needs to take an active role in this issue. After all, they are the experts with regards to Human Health issues, not the Ministry of Environment! The Ministry of Environment has absolutely ignored the November, 2006 request of the KFL&A Board of Health to the Signing Director, Ministry of the Environment, Ontario, to hold an Environmental Review Tribunal Hearing under Part V, Section 32 of the Environmental Protection Act for Lafarge's waste disposal site application to ensure full participation of members of the public in the Approvals process and the issuance of Certificates of Approval that deal with spills, pollutant emissions to the atmosphere and non-compliance penalties.

    We have prepared a formal complaint email message to the Acting Chief Medical Officer of Health, Queens Park. If you agree, please sign your name and Email it to the following contacts (or modify the letter or write your own):

    Dr. George Pasut - Acting Chief Medical Officer of Health, Public Health, Ministry of Health and Long Term Care, Government of Ontario
    Tel: 416-212-3831 - george.pasut@moh.gov.on.ca
    Dr. Ian Gemmill - Medical Officer of Health, KFL&A Board of Health.
    Tel: 613-549-1232 ext. 234 or 1-800-267-7875 - dr.i.m.gemmill@healthunit.on.ca
    Dr. Richard Schabas - Medical Officer of Health, Hastings and Prince Edward Counties
    Tel: 613-966-5500 or 1-800-267-2803 - rschabas@hpechu.on.ca or cshell@hpechu.on.ca

    Then, forward this email to everyone you know and ask him or her to do the same thing!

  3. January 22, 2007 - Letter to Lisa Mychajluk, Senior Policy Coordinator, Waste Management Policy Branch, Province of Ontario:
    The Government of Ontario has proposed a province wide ban on incineration of tires, but has exempted Lafarge's Bath plant from this ban. The Province has imposed a deadline of February 12, 2007 for commenting on the proposed Resolution.

    We need to demand before the deadline of February 12, 2007 that the proposal be rejected as currently worded. We need to request that the MOE propose an amended resolution requesting a province-wide ban on the incineration of tires at all facilities, specifically including Lafarge Canada, Bath plant in the ban as well, until such a time as a province-wide environmental assessment of this process is completed.

    We have prepared a basic formal Comment to the Environmental Review Tribunal. This letter to the ERT has suggested comments in response to the proposed plan for regulation under the Environmental Protection Act to ban the burning of tires for a minimum of 2 years. If you agree, please sign your name and print or Email it to the following contacts (Add your personal note and additional comments to the top, as the ERT may not read in full if they see it is a form letter):

    Lisa Mychajluk - Waste Management Policy Branch - lisa.mychajluk@ontario.ca
    Dalton McGuinty - Premier of Ontario - dmcguinty.mpp@liberal.ola.org
    Laurel Broten - lbroten.mpp@liberal.ola.org
    Leona Dombrowsky - ldombrowsky.mpp.co@liberal.ola.org
    John Gerretsen - jgerretsen.mpp@liberal.ola.org
    Laurie Scott - Environment Critic - CPC Party - laurie_scott@ontla.ola.org
    Peter Tabuns - Environment Critic - NDP Party - tabunsp-qp@ndp.on.ca
