About 700 people gathered for a rally at Site 41.
Many walked to the site from the Elmvale Arena and a few road in on tractors on Saturday afternoon — but they were all there to send a message to Simcoe County and the province that construction of the landfill must stop.
Chair of the Council of Canadians, Maude Barlow was a speaker at the rally.
She says she met with a number of councillors from around the area on Friday and Saturday.
She is planning to put forward a motion asking the county to put a one year moratorium on any activity at the site until an independent study can by done.
Barlow is confident this will work to put a permanent stop to the landfill in Tiny Township.
Barlow say construction of the site has to be stopped to protect the water in the Alliston Acquifer which has been called the purest water supply in the world.
Native protestors have been camping out on land across from the dump for two months now and Barlow says the group won’t leave until the site is stopped.
