Lambton County has officially joined the fight against York1’s proposed expansion at the Dresden landfill. At a May 7th meeting, council voted overwhelmingly to push for the province to reinstate the environmental assessment the government had planned to remove. Local leaders argue the development, just a kilometer north of Dresden, could lead to daily truck traffic and environmental risks to the Sydenham River watershed. Officials are demanding better public consultation before any decisions are made.
