Saturday, July 19:  Special Information Meeting – Ruby Road Waste Disposal Site

9:00 am to 12:00 pm, Basement of St Andrews Church, Killaloe

Background: Because many of our members live outside the area and yet may have concerns about the proposed change in status of the Ruby Road disposal site, the Association will host an information meeting on the subject on Saturday, July 19. The purpose of the meeting is to hear from Bonnechere Valley Township Council members, Cambium Environmental (consultants under contract to the Township), and those who have been involved in the consultation process and to give our members an opportunity to get their questions answered.  This information session will be facilitated and moderated by Mr. Fred Blackstein.

As far as we know, no one likes the idea of a ‘garbage dump’ located near their lakefront property. On the other hand, as citizens we must acknowledge that such facilities must be located somewhere. The current site is located on Ruby Road near the Bonnechere Lodge Road and is about 1.5 kilometers from the south shore of Golden Lake. Some of the key issues likely to be raised at the meeting are: Why is this site the preferred option? At what stage is the decision-making process? What types of waste will be disposed of? What are the possible environmental impacts on Golden Lake? What precautions will be taken to prevent damage to the environment and to the quality of life of lake residents? What are the implications for traffic along Ruby Road?  What are our responsibilities?  

Here is more information.

The Township of Bonnechere Valley will host an important public consultation meeting in Eganville on July 26. See below.
