MORE ON WOOLWICH BIO-EN

Today's Woolwich Observer has more information on page two of today's Observer (dated Sat. July 16/11). This almost half page ad/notice is again in regards to the public voicing their concerns within the allowed time period. Several options are given including by mail, phone or on line. Let us not forget promises that were made during last fall's Municipal election. They were made by incoming sucessful candidates, most especially Mayor Cowan. I believe that this issue was one of three environmental issues that sounded the death knell for all the Elmira/Woolwich candidates with the exception of Mark Bauman from St. Jacobs. Geography alone saved his bacon. Regarding Mayor Cowan's promises I will say this: despite my current disappointment around the glacial speed of CPAC, completely due to Council, nevertheless I still have hope in regards to a new location for Woolwich Bio-En. This is not to devalue the importance of citizens continuing to act and pressure the M.O.E.. This story is far from over and if sucessful will be due to both citizen and political involvement.
