UPCOMING TAG MEETING

As has been for the last couple of years the TAG (Technical Advisory Group) meeting will be virtual versus in person. Personally I think it's time to go back to live, in person meetings. The meeting is next Thursday at 6:30 pm. and there is an announcement in today's Woolwich Observer with details such as how to register with the support specialist ahead of time. Basically an e-mail to lschaefer@woolwich.ca prior to this Tuesday at noon hour will get you in. ......................................................................................................................... Therefore we are talking about March 24/22 at 6:30 pm. although those watching are all requested to show up at 6:15 pm. to ensure that all can be seen and not heard. That's right attendance in Woolwich does not mean participation. The public however are allowed to express joy and or admiration at the highly customized attempt at public consultation here in Elmira/Woolwich Township. Local polluters and politicians are in love with this format and constantly like to brag about how local citizens come together to better their environment. In fact TAG has evolved yes into a number of very good citizens who unfortunately have enough ties with the local environmental industry to ensure that unlike the past CPAC, they always remain "nice" in their dealings with the Ministry of Environment, Lanxess and their consultants GHD. There is no severe criticism as that might upset the dirty polluters in town and their political stooges on Woolwich Council. There is no calling out of either apparent lies or even of the blatant ones. First and foremost TAG always remain "nice" even when being led down the garden path. ................................................................................................................ The Agenda of next Thursday's meeting and Minutes of last month's meeting will likely be e-mailed out tomorrow.
