I am a resident of Kitchener, Ontario. Below are critical points I share in this ERO:

* The water taking permit Category 3 (highest risk) should be rejected due to potential
interference with municipal and private wells.

*The Province must align water permits with the Region’s own findings of water
scarcity.

* A Water-Taking Permit and Aggregate Moratorium is needed until the Region of Waterloo’s Water Supply Strategy is updated.

* Implement BlueBelt and Greenbelt Protections

* Support municipal visionary, sustainable Official Plans

* Restore Conservation Authorities and Proper Planning Processes

* I state our Ontario government must protect our water. This is not evident given provincial cuts, concerning water taking approvals, and continued provincial disregard for our careful water balance by our Conservation Authorities
