Here we go again...

It’s with a heavy heart, we inform you that Dewdney Mountain Farms Ltd has reapplied for the Zoning bylaw that was retracted by the OMB in April of 2018.

We are unsure sure how we will approach this, but we strongly advise you to contact your elected Municipal Councillors and voice your opinion.

The Municipal Planner is treating this as an amendment whilst it's been almost a decade since these studies were produced, it should be treated as a new application with all new studies.

Please get your voice heard and out there.

Local Council approves OP and rezoning

On Jan 15th 2013, Council gave the go ahead and granted Dewdney Mountain Farms the ok for rezoning and change to the OP. This all needs to be ok'd by Peterborough County before a license can be issued.

More projects brewing just outside of Bobcaygeon

We have recently learned about possible Graphite mining in the Bobcaygeon area. Valterra’s exploration was conducted in the vicinity of Bass Lake.

For more information please see the link Here.

This area is primarily known for its tourist industry, beautiful lakes and an ever expanding retirement destination. When do we say enough is enough? Leave the beautiful place we call home alone!

Informational Meeting

Meeting Date officially changed due to poor weather forecast. Rain date is Sunday June 10th 11:30am

We have retained a Planner! He will be coming up Saturday June 9th. You are all invited to join us at 11:30 at 2024 Ledge Rd. Please bring your own lawn chairs. This will be a very important meeting regarding the up coming June 23rd Meeting at Caygeon Lanes. He will be offering us strategy regarding our next steps. Prior to the meeting we will be accompanying him to the site, through the haul route and to surrounding communities so he has a feel for the area and what we are up against.  We at this point have raised the funds to retain Mr. Rowe but this will only take us to the preliminary review stage. Fundraising will be a must and we are as always still accepting donations (there is a donation box at the Bobcaygeon Chamber of Commerce) any little bit helps, cash, check, loose change.

   As you have all seen the council has put notice in The Promoter and Kawartha Lakes this Week regarding the up coming meeting. We need as many people as possible to attend this meeting, council has to know that we are serious about this issue and have previously scoffed that only about 150 turned up against another proposed quarry. This doesn't just affect a small area, Bobcaygeon and surrounding areas will be greatly affected. Noise and dust travel, and the increase in truck traffic on the roads will be unbelievable.

   I am happy to announce we now have a website, although this website will be going thru some drastic design changes in the next week or so you can simply access it through the url www.stopthisquarry.com

Looking forward to seeing you all Saturday!

HERE IS A VIDEO CLIP FROM A PUBLIC MEETING HELD ON THE MAY LONG WEEKEND

What wildlife?

So they claim that the quarry will have no "significant" impact on the environment and wildlife... give your head a shake, are we reading the same diagrams?

Taken from Page 25 of the "Planning Justification Report". We kindly magnified the Legend for you!
