Ontario Tribunal was supposed to take place this week regarding the Hallman Quarry Pit, a proposal rejected by all of Wilmot council. Residents were blindsided by a last minute “settlement” and they held an emergency meeting for proposed gravel pit. kitchener.ctvnews.ca/wilmot-residen…
The meeting to stop the Hallman Pit was filled to capacity. @saveourwater & concerned citizens believe the municipality was impacted by #bill23 which would allow developers to claim costs if the Tribunal ruled in their favour. 
Landowners "stockpile" gravel-extraction approvals. And, once an approval (i.e. aggregate-extraction permit under the Aggregate Resources Act) is given the landowner can sell the land as both farmland and as a gravel pit. It is a Ponzi scheme. reformgravelmining.ca/petition
In Ontario the gravel mining industry is authorized to extract thirteen times more gravel every year than what we use, from more than 5,000 existing gravel mining sites in Ontario. It is putting out water supplies at risk. This spreadsheet is the view in Wilmot Township.
One in five properties isn’t owned by the land owner in Waterloo. We have land banking schemes happening here. Organized crime is linked to it. therecord.com/news/waterloo-…
The Hallman Quarry pit is risking 7% of Waterloo Region’s water supply. Economically it impacts everyone here and downstream from tax revenues to the jobs. We must protect the Waterloo Moraine for future generations who will need this farmlands & water. #stoptheHallmanPit
I literally told my city, MPs and MPPs about how land banking schemes in Canada were linked to Germany and the mob. I spoke to the Queen's Park judiciary about it years ago. They said unless I was a shareholder it was hearsay even though I provided them with media reports.
