INTEREST IS PICKING UP

Today is the fifth day in a row that I've posted in regards to the Oct. 7, 1991 Sweetheart deal between Uniroyal Chemical and the Ministry of the Environment. There are numerous local environmental issues here in Woolwich township and I try to cover them all. Every once in a while something so particularily important happens that I tend to focus on it for a few days. This particular issue is of huge significance.

At the moment including this site there are four websites carrying this story. They are the Cambridge Advocate, Stop the Stink and the Huffington Post. Simply googling the first should get you to it otherwise I believe it's at www.cambridgeadvocate.com . The second can be googled and or is also under the BFCC or Bio-Fuel Concerned Citizens and the last is at www. huffingtonpost.ca . This last website is a newspaper and apparently the Federal Environment Minister, Peter Kent, is to be their guest today for an interview. This interview will be him answering environmental questions that have been submitted on-line by the papers' readers. You guessed it, the owner of the Cambridge Advocate has submitted a question dealing with "backroom" deals (ie sweetheart deals) between polluters and the Ministry of the Environment. This is specific to Uniroyal and the M.O.E..

Further media interest to date has come from both the local newspapers in Woolwich Township namely the Elmira Independent and the Woolwich Observer. Also the Waterloo Region (K-W) Record has expressed some interest. I'm hoping all three of these papers will very shortly be publishing relevant stories and information. Our local news radio 570 has been e-mailed as has CKCO-TV. Again we will have to wait to see.
