Your letters are IMPORTANT! They can be as simple as a statement that you oppose the vertical land fill in a residential area, or as detailed as you wish.

Please do not assume that a few well written letters by a concerned minority will make a difference. What WILL make the difference is MANY letters from ALL of us. Catalyst and the Ministry of Environment need to know that a large percentage of the population are opposed to this measure, and the best way to achieve that is by a flood of letters!

Besides the flawed and biased Catalyst-commissioned technical report, the main tool the Ministry of the Environment uses to decide this case is your letters. Your silence is presumed to be an approval of the industrial wastedump expansion! Please write letters to these listed recipients.

Re: Petition

To the Auditor General,

I am a Canadian resident of Powell River B.C. and wish to submit the following environmental petition relating to an environmental matter in the context of sustainable development.

The local pulp and paper mill owned by various companies over the years and currently owned by Catalyst Paper sits at the forefront of this petition.

In the early 1990’s, the company was owned by Macmillan Bloedel.
