Weston Community Coalition

We still await decision of Minister on Terms of Reference and on WCC’s request for Mediation

We suspect the new EA rules will be used for Blue 22 and are designed to limit opposition in Weston.

This website is intended to provide residents and interested parties with copies of documents for their review.

Please check regularly for new material.  Newest material will be in blue

To e-mail us use info@westoncommunitycoalition.ca
