Oxford People Against the Landfill have levelled the playing field against Walker Environmental. That's according to OPAL chairperson Steve McSwiggan after the group retained legal services. He says the Canadian Environmental Law Association or CELA is a perfect fit for them. "The cost of lawyers, the cost of experts all of those things are playing very large in what we are trying to accomplish here. We need a lot of help to rebut the terms of reference, we need help and legal advise on the E.A. (Environmental Assessment) process and CELA offers all of that assistance". CELA's legal experts have successfully assisted in the fights against other landfills. McSwiggan says they are building a strong team that will help them in the long run with the landfill proposal. While much of CELA's expertise is being offered to OPAL free of charge, there will be some expenses. McSwiggan hopes the community will assist with some of these costs.
