“We realized that a federal waterway, water lots, and species protected under federal law could be negatively affected and that the federal government has an interest and responsibility to look into this.”Story continues below advertisement The group calls the remediation plans for the site aggressive, as they involve cutting down 1,800 trees, digging up and exporting 400,000 tons of earth, and saying that they bring into question the safety of the river itself and the animals and plant life that depend on it.
According to the group, Indigenous representatives were not consulted by the City of Kingston regarding the enormous impact of the proposed Tannery development on nearby Belle Island, a sacred Indigenous place.
