Residents of Chatham-Kent came together in Dresden on Sunday to form a human chain protesting the York1 landfill project. The peaceful event stretched about two kilometers from the inactive dump site on Irish School Road to Dresden Area Central School. Organizer Angie Richards-Mills, a local school board trustee, united the community to protect farmland, water, and children’s futures. The protest opposed Bill 5, which fast-tracked the landfill without an environmental review. The chain began at 1 p.m., with parking available nearby on Richards-Mills’ family farm.
