Re: Proposed Lippa Pit and Quarry – Key Dates

The purpose of this letter is to inform you of recent activity, plus important upcoming dates in our continued fight against the proposed Lippa pit and quarry.

Recent Activity:

Over the past few months, our team has been working with some of our experts to support our case.  Specifically, initial assessments have been made by water quality, acoustics and road safety experts. 

Key Dates:

The second Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) Pre-Hearing Conference (PHC) will take place on Friday July 13, 2018 at 10 am and be held at the Municipal Office, 1 Bailey Street, Port Carling.  Your attendance is important, as we want to continue to demonstrate to the Adjudicator that a large number of people are strongly against the proposed pit and quarry.

Later that same day, Friday July 13, from 7:30 – 10:00 pm, a ‘Rock the Quarry Rally’ for Skeleton Lake will be held in the Port Carling Community Centre.  Both guest speakers and live musical entertainment will be on hand.  Admission will be free and open to the public, (however donations for SLCO’s Stop the Lippa Quarry Fund will be gladly accepted!)  This rally will be informative and entertaining so please plan to attend.  More information on the rally is available by clicking on the following link:  Rock the Quarry Rally for Skeleton Lake @ Port Carling Community Centre ( 3 Bailey St ) .

Looking further into the future, there is the possibility of a third PHC, although no date has yet been discussed.  The OMB Hearing itself will likely be scheduled for the spring of 2019.  We will notify you of further details once they are available.

I am looking forward to seeing you at the above-mentioned events.  In the interim, please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have.

Sincerely,

Scott May, President

Skeleton Lake Cottagers Organization
