Cornwall Ontario – The Service Club Council of Cornwall and the District is getting involved in the No Tanks issue. The club which represents such groups as The Knights of Columbus, The Kinsmen & Kinettes, Catholic Women’s League, Royal Canadian Legion, Cornwall Lions club, Cornwall Optimist club, RCAF Wing, Cornwall Rotary & Rotary Sunrise, Garde Nativite, and Lancaster Optimist Club all; like almost all of the rest of the city; don’t want tanks.
Now if we can get those groups to sign our petition below and show up at our next rally to help make sure that our voices are heard together and if we can all work together maybe, just maybe, we can ensure that there are NO TANKS on our waterfront!
Btw, we’d be happy to steer the Service Club Council to another batch of our NO TANKS pins pictured below for their members to wear!
WHEREAS; Cornwall and its surrounding area has experienced a physical transformation unlike any other community of its size in Canada, and
WHEREAS; Some 40 years ago the City of Cornwall and Federal Government wrestled over the use and control of the waterfront which resulted in the establishment of a Green Belt within the waterfront of the City and,
WHEREAS; Over a period of time City and the Federal Government have been improved the waterfront with the improvement of the Harbour and building of a Marina and,
WHEREAS; A bike path for the enjoyment of all has been built in along the whole waterfront, in this Green Belt and has been relocated, and

WHEREAS; The continued construction on these storage TANKS on the waterfront in OUR Green Belt will put a BLIGHT on the future plans for the continued development along OUR waterfront.
THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Cornwall and District Service Club Council is strongly opposed to the continued construction of these storage TANKS, in the GREEN BELT on our WATERFRONT, and the removal of what has been put in place.
