Rally against Gas-fired Power Plant in Oakville/Clarkson

I got this email and want to spread the word, so I'm including it in my blog.

Have you been keeping up with the news on this power plant? Decision Day is coming soon – August 31 we are told. If you need more information, go onto the following websites –
www.cmgra.ca
www.miranet.org
www.myoakville.org

The Oakville Beaver has many interesting articles that have been written as well. I am sure you can access them online.

We don’t need this Power Plant. We should be reducing our reliance on fossil fuel, not building more plants that add to greenhouse gas emissions. The government should also be considering the fact that the air in this area (the Clarkson Airshed) is already under stress (refer to the 2006 Clarkson Airshed Study.). Any Power Plant will add another 8 tons of harmful dioxins into our air EVERY DAY.

Oakville is planning our own Rally against any Power Plant. (Mississauga had theirs at the end of June.)

If you can attend, we need every body. It will last an hour max.

Tuesday July 28th at 7pm

The Chisholm Centre (1484 Cornwall Road, Oakville)

Spend one of these rainy days making a sign and bring it too. Get your neighbours and family to come as well.

Your support is greatly appreciated.
