Incinerator Information Session March 2, 2010
Over 110 people attended the Incinerator Injustice information session Tuesday March 2 in Courtice, making it a successful evening. The session also attracted visitors from Toronto and Simcoe County, where irresponsible waste management is also an urgent issue.
The evening was organized by a coalition of Durham Region residents and organizations — www.ZeroWaste4ZeroBurning.ca, www.DurhamEnvironmentWatch.org, www.DurhamCLEAR.ca and www.DurhamElection2010.ca. The organizers wish to thank all involved, including the volunteers at Faith United Church.
