About the event
"Swan Lake" Under Threat- Mayor Greenlights Cortellucci Fill Permit
Join us as we discuss how the Town of Caledon is making decisions these days, such as fast-tracking permit approvals before an application is even submitted.
We will discuss the implications of the recent mayor’s motion and Council decision to issue a fill permit to dump soil, excavated from development sites around the GTA, into a former gravel pit in Caledon’s Ward 1 - a rehabilitated pit that is now an ecosystem-supporting lake.
The pit owner, developer Nick Cortellucci, has not submitted an application to request the fill permit that Council directed staff to issue, nor have any studies been done assessing the impact of dewatering/filling a large lake and trucking tonnes of dirt along Caledon’s backroads … nor were the adjacent property owners notified.
The public has an important role to play in deciding Caledon's future, and yet we are being excluded from opportunities to participate. Come to the webinar with questions and share with others how you have been affected by the eroding democracy at Town Hall.
