Movin' & Groovin' once again for the legendary, semi-paved, Waterloo Moraine.  Let's get grooving to some free range music.

"Love In/Kiss In"for the Waterloo Moraine – Saturday April 10, 2010 from 2pm to 12am @ Huether Hotel in the Lounge

All You Can Eat Pete and his crew of DJ’s and musicians will be spinning peace and love tunes to ensure resource security for future generations.

There is increasing concern in the Grand River Cities about the health of the Waterloo Moraine.
Our Moraine provides groundwater for hundreds of thousands of residents, is the habitat for threatened species, is some of the richest farmland in the world, and has tremendous natural heritage value. Unfortunately it continues to be degraded by urban sprawl and a legacy of industrial pollution.

Local scholar Thomas Homer-Dixon has outlined the threat of resource scarcity leading to violence. Minority groups in the watershed have outlined concerns regarding fear of hatred and violence.

For more information or questions please contact Pete Bechtel @ waterlooians@yahoo.ca. All You Can

It’s a municipal election year, let’s ensure the Waterloo Moraine remains a stable, safe, and secure place to raise a family and make a living for everyone. Save it, don’t pave it, the Waterloo Moraine!

Respectfully yours,

Dear Waterloo City Council,

Intensifying Northdale is a solution to urban sprawl destroying the Waterloo Moraine. Please make a goal of this process the sustainable intensification and diversification of Northdale.

Respectfully yours,

Waterlooians.ca is concerned by the vision for Northdale being presented tonight at Councillor d'Ailly's Town Hall Meeting, from 6:30-9:00pm at St. Michael's Church The Councillor plans to unveil his vision of Northdale. Residents of this area are calling on greater intensification and removal of the 75 metre bylaw, neither concept is reflected in the Councillor's vision for this area. Why is HUGwaterloo.com and the Northdale Area Residents Coalition not being allowed to present their concerns or speak publicly at the Town Hall Meeting?

The Provincial Place to Grow Act is destroying the Waterloo Moraine's source water, natural heritage, and threatened species habitat. The Act mandates 60% of new growth as urban sprawl on these sensitive lands and only 40% intensification. Due to the unique natural environment of Waterloo Region greenfield development needs to be limited and existing developed areas need to be intensified.  Immediate rezoning for intensification of the Northdale Ghetto is a conservation solution for protecting the Waterloo Moraine.

Waterlooians.ca supports Hugwaterloo.com and it's coalition members calls for the intensification of this area and believes this issue will becoming increasingly important as the municipal elections approach.
