SAFETY-KLEEN IN BRESLAU (WOOLWICH TWN) & RYERSON PUBLIC SCHOOL in CAMBRIDGE

For fifteen years, off and on, the Region of Waterloo and myself have been butting heads regarding the Safety-Kleen site. Here is an exerpt from a fax received yesterday from the Region to myself. " Regional planning staff subsequently met with Mr. marshall to discuss the basis for his referral request and in further consultation with Regional legal staff have determined that the referral request has been made in good faith and does not meet the test of frivolous, vexatious or for the purpose of delay pursuant to Section 17(11) of the 1983 Planning Act". Wow compared to some of the things the Region have said about me (publicly), this is the equivalent of a Nobel prize. This certainly does not guarantee the Region's support (heaven forbid my system can only stand so much shock) at an O.M.B. hearing. The final vote by Regional Council is Thursday Aug. 19/10 (now at 3 PM. instead of 7 PM.).

I had been wondering how certain individuals in positions of authority were able to sleep at night, with the knowledge that they have aided and abetted the torture and killing of human beings in the Bishop St. neighbourhood. This has been ongoing for decades but the decisions in the last five years are the ones I'm talking about. Now it appears these same people are going to be putting more children in danger. Ryerson School is being rebuilt on Grand Valley Dr. in Cambridge. The Cambridge Advocate has postings regarding this outrage. I repeat my comments in that forum here: Is there any possibilty that the new school has been built without a conventional basement? If so then that is good; as well as they are acknowledging the dangers of in ground buildings due to Trichloroethylene vapour intrusion. If the school indeed does have a conventional basement then jail is much too good for these decisonmakers.
