This petition is titled “Clean Up Mimico Creek and Humber Creek” and it reads:
“To the Legislative Assembly of Ontario:
“Whereas an industrial fire at Brenntag Canada caused a chemical sludge to spill and spread rapidly into Mimico Creek and Humber Creek in Etobicoke;
“Whereas countless local wildlife have been killed or had their habitats contaminated as a result;
“Whereas local residents and visitors have been impacted and need clearer information;
“Whereas this dangerous sludge has begun spreading into Lake Ontario;
“Therefore we, the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Ontario as follows:
“That the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks must be transparent with the public about which chemicals were spilled and the risks they pose;
“That the minister provides Ontarians with a clear timeline and expectations for the cleanup operations;
“That the government provides emergency funding to the Toronto Wildlife Centre to ensure they can undertake effective and timely cleanup operations.”
I fully support this petition and will affix my signature to it.
