Jeff Whan

Jeff is a long-time resident of Stone Mills. He appreciates our community and the people who live here. He is very active in the citizens group successfully opposing the Richmond Landfill expansion which was proposed to bring Toronto’s garbage to Napanee. Jeff combines his experience as a successful businessman with recently acquired knowledge of the municipal legal framework and Ontario’s Environmental regulations to find solutions in the interest of all of us.

Cathy Martin

Cathy had been an early childhood educator/daycare teacher since she graduated from St. Lawrence College in 1989. Unfortunately due to medical issues Cathy is no longer able to work in that field. She moved to Yarker with her children in 1992, and found it a wonderful place to live until the Township allowed the Waste Transfer Station to be built adjacent to her residence.

Cathy has been overwhelmed by what she perceives as a lack of transparency and accountability on behalf of Stone Mills Township. She has observed first hand the negative impacts resulting from the operation.

Having started the ball rolling by documenting and researching the issues with respect to the Waste Transfer Station, Cathy has been happy to see the community support building around her.
