“To the apparent surprise of some in the gallery at Melancthon council last Thursday, Mayor Debbie Fawcett stated unequivocally that the council is not in favour of a 2,400-acre quarry. And, to protestations from the gallery that it was the first time she or the council had stated its position, the mayor said she had said the same at The Highland Companies' open house.”, (Orangeville Citizen, September 10, 2009)
“It’s been rumoured for years, so it’s not that much of a surprise to us,” she said, of the news that Highland plans to seek approvals for a quarry. “Can we stop it? I don’t think we can stop it. Can we get the best deal for the community? We’ll try as best we can ... to make it as safe as possible.” Mayor Fawcett, (Orangeville Banner, June 23, 2009)
