Clarington Council did not decide anything on the Host Community Agreement (HCA) at its Monday May 11 meeting. Instead, administrator Frank Wu delivered an update to his report on the negotiations at 7pm, just as council was starting their meeting. The pressure is on for Clarington to reverse its stance as "unwilling host community", as this would remove a significant obstacle to approval of the incinerator. The HCA is a contract that sets out what Clarington gets in return for hosting the incinerator for the next 25 to 30 years.

Local councillors objected to this "ambush" and postponed the decision to a later meeting. Unfortunately, it was scheduled during the daytime when it's harder for people to make the time to attend. If you are able to take time during the day, come out to this meeting to show that the health of our community must not be compromised for pavement and sewer pipes.
