WECEC produces Black Oak Heritage Park video

Monday, December 5, 2011

The committee has produced an educational video to highlight the ecological importance of Black Oak Heritage Park. The entrance to this park is located of Broadway Road on the west side of Windsor.

The plants and animals in Black Oak park are seeing their environment being harmed by some Windsor citizens who dump garbage or ride their ATV's illegally in the park.

Protecting the natural environment in Windsor-Essex is very important to our Committee. Click on the "Public Service Video's" section of our website to watch the Black Oak video and let us know what you think.

Windsor Fluoride Action Group Presents to WECEC

Thursday, December 1, 2011

Check out the presentation by the Fluoride Action Network during the December WECEC meeting. The group is advocating for the City of Windsor to discontinue putting Hydrofluorocylisic acid (a toxic hazardous waste product)into our drinking water.

The toxicity of fluoride in our environment has been known for many years and as such it is listed on Environment Canada's website as a toxic substance. The amount placed in City of Windsor drinking water is greater than the maximum allowable limit stated in the Species at Risk Act.

WECEC has proposed a recommendation to Windsor City Council to stop the addition of fluoride in our drinking water.
