CONFLICTS OF INTEREST UPDATE

Last Thursday I posted here that it would be interesting if reports on consulting services between Blumetric Engineering Inc. and either Lanxess Canada or Woolwich Township were accurate. Well I've been looking on-line and to date here is what I've found. Woolwich Township have had consulting services from a company called GM Blue Plan in regards to the bridge just off of Middlebrook Rd. (near West Montrose) that crosses the Grand River. Close but no cigar. ................................................................................................................ Blumetric do consulting work regarding landfills and gravel pits among other environmental issues. They have done such work in Wilmot Township as well as in North Dumfries Township. The company also consults on municipal wellfields and has been contracted to the Region of Waterloo for wellfields in Cambridge. There are numerous other contracts awarded to the company by the Region of Waterloo including their work on behalf of the Region in regards to Source Water Protection Plans. ................................................................................................... Sandy Shantz (mayor of Woolwich Township-sort of) is a Waterloo Region councillor and hence involved with any regional water or well studies in and around Woolwich Township. After the Dr. Richard Jackson tenure as TAG Chair (Technical Advisory Group - i.e. Uniroyal Chemical), a new Chair, likely far more amenable to either Lanxess or municipal control was required. Dr. Jackson, unfortunately for Uniroyal/Chemtura/Lanxess and the MOE/MECP was more amenable to the truth. It is reasonable to assume that Sandy went for an employee of a company already doing substantive business in Waterloo Region. Some of the contracts between the Region of Waterloo and Blumetric are in the hundreds of thousands of dollars area. Could this be construed as "scratch my back and I'll scratch yours"?

  1. GM Blue Plan is a local based company started by a very decent gentleman (now deceased) with a great reputation compared to Bluemetric that is promoting Globalist+socialist and LLC Agenda's which are corrupt and aligning themselves accordingly in accordance with the Globalist Agenda 21 and so on.
