This industrial mega-site is a really bad idea. Discover the costs for highways & rail, power lines and water & waste treatment if we build it in Wilmot Township: youtu.be/aQOwi9-fmr0 Catherine Fife Mike Schreiner Pfenning's Farm Region of Waterloo #FightForFarmland #ONpoli

Soil is precious. Once it's paved over, it's gone. It takes 500-2000 years to create 1" of good quality topsoil. Think you can grow a carrot in that? The answer is no. Pfenning's Farm #FridayFact #FightForFarmland #NoFarmersNoFood #UnwillingHosts #WilmotLandGrab


Happy Earth Day! On April 23, Anne Loeffler will speak about soil erosion & the #WilmotLandGrab. Come learn about responsible land management at the Region of Waterloo Council Chambers at 7:00 pm. #EarthDay #StandYourGround #WilmotLandGrab


Retired Conservation Specialist and Professional Agrologist, Anne Loeffler said. “The contractor repeatedly tilled the land, and this left the soil bare, shattered, and highly vulnerable to erosion.” kitchener.citynews.ca/2025/04/25/soi… #FightForFarmland #StandYourGround #WilmotLandGrab

Last fall, the Region of Waterloo was told: excessive tillage of land they purchased would lead to serious erosion. They did nothing. This is the result. #FightForFarmland #WilmotLandGrab #StandYourGround


On the Region of Waterloo farm, where they shredded the corn, sediment-laden water has a clear path to a creek. From there, it flows to the Nith River & ultimately into the Grand River, affecting🥤in City of Brantford & Six Nations of the Grand River. #FridayFact #FightForFarmland


"Soil can be a very valuable resource, but if it enters the watercourse, it becomes a contaminant," said Anne Loeffler in the THE OBSERVER. observerxtra.com/erosion-concer… #FightForFarmland #WilmotLandGrab #StandYourGround


Soil erosion doesn't just happen — it's the result of poor management. The Region of Waterloo knew it was coming, but didn’t take action. Now, we all pay the price. #FightForFarmland #WilmotLandGrab #StandYourGround


This severe erosion was preventable. Region of Waterloo needs to be held accountable. Speak out and tell your councillor how you feel: wilmotcan.com/demandaction/


Stewart Snyder is quoted in Mary Loggan's article in @betterfarmson: 'It's been a political game from Day 1. We don't even know who's behind this or what their real motivations are. There's a complete lack of accountability.'" #FightForFarmland #WilmotLandGrab


👀& share Anne Loeffler's delegation to the Regional Council to draw their attention to the severe soil erosion. We look forward to the completion of the report requested by Wilmot Township Mayor, Natasha Salonen. youtube.com/live/FOSOxbMuG…


Several reports came out yesterday about the Region of Waterloo securing control of more of the 770 acres, including CityNews Kitchener. Read our response: kitchener.citynews.ca/2025/05/15/wro… #FightForFarmland #WilmotLandGrab


By their own admission, the Region of Waterloo doesn't have a buyer. Yet they’ve taken irreplaceable farmland. Let Karen Redman know that this is the wrong plan for our community: wilmotcan.com/demandaction/ #FridayFact #FightForFarmland #WilmotLandGrab


The dishonourable mention by the Canadian Association of Journalists is for the Region of Waterloo's refusal to share information about the land assembly in Wilmot. Dozens of Freedom of Information requests have been refused. therecord.com/news/waterloo-…
