Petition for the GIFN UYSSP

Hi everyone, this is just a follow up in regards to my latest Instagram announcement. You can also find this information through the recent update on my change.org petition (http://chng.it/fL6pjXqd).
I'm sure as most of you know I have been working in solidarity with the Georgina Island First Nations community to raise awareness of the Upper York Sewage Solutions project. The online petition run by the community is no longer active, but they are continuing to collect paper copy signatures. I have attached a document briefly explaining the situation and declaration of the Chippewas of Georgina Island, along with the petition. I would appreciate if everyone who sees this takes a minute to review the document and sign the petition; feel free to mail your hard copy personally, forward it to me electronically, or post the signed document in the comments section of this post, and I will submit them to the environmental coordinator. Thank you for taking the time to read this!! Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions too.

Update on the Upper York Sewage Solutions Project

Recently affecting the Chippewas of Georgina Island is the Upper York Sewage Solutions Project, which has been in limbo for over a year now; UYSSP would contribute to the disposal of "more than 40 million litres of treated wastewater per day into the Lake Simcoe Watershed". From the most recent updates, the government and decision makers have failed to include the community in any aspects of the project proposal, as well as ignoring critical concerns for health and the environment  - threatening the Lake Simcoe watershed, drinking water quality, along with the rights and livelihood of the Chippewas of Georgina Island residing in the area.
