According to an article by Greg Hoesktra in this week's Haliburton Echo (April 15, 2008), a second municipality in Haliburton County has signed on to support a moratorium on uranium mining and changes to the Mining Act! The Municipality of Dysart et al has become the 16th municipality to support a moratorium on uranium mining! We do not have the details of the resolution as of yet thought it appears to be a similiar, if not the same, resolution passed by Highlands East. According to the Echo, Highlands East Reeve, Dave Burton, took the resolution to Dysart et al.. Dysart Reeve, Murray Fearrey stated that he had received a number of phone calls from concerned residents. Democracy works, folks (at least locally ;-) )!
FUME would like to thank the Council of the Municipality of Dysart et al for signing on to this resolution and a special thanks to Reeve Dave Burton of Highlands East for bringing the resolution to Dysart. Thanks to the residents of Dysart et al who expressed their concern.
That makes 16 councils in Ontario and we expect more to follow! We think its time McGuinty take notice!
We will forward more details as they become available.
