Residents dump on proposed landfill Waste Management officials make commitment to community’s health JESSICA CUNHA KOURIER-STANDARD Tempers came to a boiling point during a Waste Management question and answer session at Sacred Heart High School on Tuesday, June 8. Don Wright, vice president and general counsel at Waste Management replied “I honestly don’t know,” when asked by a resident if he would want to live and raise a family beside the new landfill. This brought cries of outrage from those in the community who would be living in close proximity to the proposed West Carleton Environmental Centre. “How can you say, ‘I don’t know?’” yelled Marlene Labelle, Stittsville’s representative on the Waste Management project advisory committee. “I’m just very frustrated with their attitude,” she said after the session. “They want community input but they’re just not listening. I’ve submit-
ted three reports to them and I’m working on my fourth one and they’re still running ahead with the terms of reference.” The terms of reference will be submitted sometime in the next few weeks. “It’s very frustrating to watch this,” said Labelle. “They’re pulling the wool over peoples’ eyes.” SKIRTING THE ISSUE “This community has done its share, accepting garbage for a wide range of people across the province,” said Norm Sterling, MPP for Carleton-Mississippi Mills. “You are misleading the people right now,” he yelled when a Waste Management spokesperson said the new site wouldn’t be taking in garbage from outside eastern Ontario. “It’s time for someone else to take this on,” said Sterling to audience applause.
