Provincial intervention could protect the future of the Red Hill Valley, says environmental justice group Lake Ontario Waterkeeper.

Lake Ontario Waterkeeper asked the province this week to reconsider its 1985 approval for the construction of an expressway through the Red Hill Valley. The City of Hamilton is in the early stages of construction for this Red Hill Creek Expressway, relying on the province's approval for the project.

Dear Hon. Wilson,

I am writing to you on behalf of Lake Ontario Waterkeeper (LOK), an environmental law group working to protect Lake Ontario. As you are likely aware, the City of Hamilton is currently undertaking to construct an expressway in the Red Hill Valley. This project is highly controversial and has been the subject of numerous public demonstrations and media reports.
