Help stop the devastation of gravel mining in Ontario
Join the DAMN! Campaign
We Demand A Moratorium Now on all new applications for gravel mining in Ontario, including interim orders and site plan amendments for mining below the water table or that increase licensed tonnages. The purpose of a moratorium is to allow time to conduct a broad consultation process to chart a new path forward. The consultation must include Indigenous Nations, affected communities, independent experts and scientists. It is imperative that we:
- Prevent greater climate chaos
- Protect groundwater and farmland
- Increase the weight of local perspectives in land use planning
- Ensure long term supply of gravel, which is a finite resource
- Honour treaties with Indigenous Nations and obligations as prescribed in the Canadian Constitution and the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
Join us for the Groundhog Day of Action on Wednesday, February 2nd!
