The Place We Love
"Quinte Spirit", Remastered by Stephen Medd
Napanee has been voted one of the prettiest towns in Ontario by TVO and the Harrowsmith Country Life Magazine. An emerging vineyard and wine industry is starting to take root in the Adolphustown area like it has in the neighbouring Prince Edward County. Napanee and its neighbours are blessed with a number of beautiful waterways within its boundaries that comprise or flow into the renowned Bay of Quinte: Adolphus Reach, Long Reach, Hay Bay, the Napanee River and the Salmon River.
Our home is the eastern gateway to the Bay of Quinte.
The Napanee River, the Salmon River and Marysville Creek, all of which flow into the Bay of Quinte, have been targeted as possible discharge sites for the megadump leachate. The Bay of
Quinte has already been identified by the International Joint
Commission on the Great Lakes as an area of environmental concern.
Discharging leachate into the Bay will
only exacerbate the existing problem. The Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte and other area residents are concerned about the quality of their water, contaminants in the food chain, and their own direct exposure to contamninants.
