Gravel pit hearings could last five weeks
Centre Wellington residents could have a huge opportunity to sit through Ontario Municipal Board hearings in the next few months.
The township just completed a three-day hearing about its ward system, but there is an even bigger one looming - dealing with gravel pits. There is a proposal for two gravel pits close to Inverhaugh on County Road 21. Residents of the community are bitterly opposed to both pits.
On Nov. 14, the OMB has a pre-hearing scheduled.
Township Chief Administrative Officer Michael Wood said that two-day exercise is simply to hear motions relating to the proposal.
The real hearing starts Feb. 11 at 10am - and it is scheduled to last 25 days.
Wood said the November meeting will likely be held in the council chambers in Elora, but the main hearing would likely be placed at the Elora community centre.
