HIGHLAND CREEK TREATMENT PLANT PETITION

 

OUR EFFORTS CONTINUE: SIGN THE CCRA'S ONLINE PETITION OR PAPER PETITION AND EMAIL US 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.

    CCRA William A. Dempsey Scholarship

     

    Once again, the CCRA is offering the William A. Dempsey Scholarship in recognition of the work and activities of Mr. William Dempsey who passed away in August 2008. Mr. Dempsey was a long time resident of this community and epitomized what it means to be an active, caring, and giving member of society both in his professional and personal life. The award will go to a student who lives in our community and is graduating from a secondary school and going onto a post-secondary school (college, university or trades school). The candidate may attend any secondary school, not necessarily in our community, but must reside in our community and have 2011 CCRA household membership. The $1,000 scholarship will be credited directly towards the tuition fees of the successful applicant.

    The deadline is Tuesday, April 24th, 2012. Click on the logo below to download the application.
