We’re absolutely blown away!
Sarah Harmer is generously matching donations up to $20,000! 💛

Swipe to hear some of what Sarah shared about the fight to protect Mount Nemo and the history and passion of CORE and PERL! 🏞️

We are so grateful to Sarah, and we hope you’ll take this opportunity to make a donation at the link in our bio!!!

The Ontario Land Tribunal hearing is coming up fast, so it’s now or never for us to raise the funds needed to pay the technical and legal team that will defend Mount Nemo and the community’s interests at the hearing in March.‼️

Special thanks to MPP Zee Hamid, our newly elected MPP! He made a promise to fight for Mount Nemo, and he’s been working hard to support CORE Burlington. Thanks also to Mayor Meedward for sharing some words of encouragement and support! We could not do this without our elected officials 🌸

Sunday, August 25th, fan favourite Sarah Harmer will be in concert at the Royal Botanical Gardens!

Bring your own lawn chairs, blankets and cushions for turf seating. Rental chairs are available for $5.

Not only do we love Sarah for her beautiful and inspiring music, but can’t thank her enough for all she does to protect Mount Nemo! Growing up in the area, she takes to heart the importance of preserving this special ecosystem and works tirelessly to protect it.

Do you want to support the preservation of Mount Nemo?

Designed by the incredibly talented Anne Douris, Sarah’s “For the Headwaters” limited edition T-shirts are just about the prettiest shirts we’ve ever seen!💖

Inspired by Mount Nemo, Lake Medad, and other meaningful natural features in the area, we can’t get over how cool this artwork is! And what’s extra cool about it, is 100% of proceeds from sales of this shirt go directly to fund our upcoming OLT hearing in defence of our beloved headwaters on Mount Nemo! 🦋

Open-Pit Mining in North Burlington:

There are 22 licensed quarries in Halton Region alone, covering an area of 3810 acres, producing an average of 7.1 million metric tonnes of aggregate per year. Halton Region (which includes Burlington) is one of the highest aggregate producers in Ontario.

After 70 long years of open-pit mining on Mt. Nemo in rural Burlington, Nelson Aggregate (in addition to applying for two new quarries ) has stated that they plan to continue operations in the existing quarry for 50 more years! When will Burlington get its long-promised lake?

Here are some of the detrimental impacts of quarrying in Burlington:
