Question & Answer Session with Andre Carriere, President, Coalition Against the Danford MegaDump

Download free Real Player

Can you briefly describe what this Maga Dump project is all about?

Why would anyone consider a major landfill of this size for what is essentially a pristine wilderness and cottage area?

Well, do the soil conditions or other features of the site make it suitable for a landfill?

I understand that there is an important and historical river barley 300 yards from the proposed landfill site? What is the significance of this river?

How do the taxpayers and residents of the area feel about this project?

What public consultation has been put in place to obtain the feedback of the residents?

This is a huge project then. Where would the garbage and waste be coming from to put in this mega dump?

Aren't there laws in place that prohibit the movement of waste and garbage from one province to the next?

A major landfill seems to be yesterday's solution and a poor one. What other solutions are there to the problem of waste and garbage?

And beyond the immediate area, what are the Mayors and elected members of other municipalities doing about their problems with waste? And, what do they think of this proposal?

Where do you go from here as a Coalition?

Fish and Game Club Members Vote Against Danford Mega Dump

August 5, 2006, Danford Lake, Quebec

The members of the Five Mile Club, a local fish and game club which operates on 400 acres of land near Danford Lake (Pontiac) have voted against the Danford Lake Mega Dump.

This is the first fish and game club to have held such a vote. More local clubs and associations are expected to hold their own votes in the future.

“We are impressed by the fact that the Five Mile Club believed that they as members should vote on this important issue. And we are pleased at the result of the vote because it shows that the members want to look at alternatives and that they see this proposed mega dump as a much broader issue that should concern the entire Outaouais Region”, said Michèle Borchers, Vice President of the Coalition against the Danford Mega Dump.

Exact numbers of the File Mile Club vote were not disclosed but a majority voted against the Mega Dump.
