TUESDAY -- NDACT chair Carl Cosack and Food
& Water First volunteers attended a Land Over Landings meeting
in Claremont to share their experiences from the Mega Quarry
campaign. Land Over Landings is trying to protect 13,000-acres of
Class 1 farmland from being paved over for a Pickering airport and other
development. The gym was packed and there was great enthusiasm for Carl's
presentation. Thanks to Mary, Pat, Jim and the Land Over Landings team
for making us feel so welcome! It was also wonderful seeing all the Food
& Water First lawn signs in the Pickering area! The Durham Region
newspaper covered the event.
WEDNESDAY -- The Orangeville Banner published a story about both Rachel McAdams and Toronto supporting the cause! Toronto Councillor Josh Matlow, who introduced the Food & Water First motion at City Hall, is quoted extensively.
