UPDATE 9/3/2015- I have changed the target number of signature from 3,000 to 1,000.
This petition is in honour of Jimmy Ngandu, who drowned on August 09th, 2015 at the abandoned quarry in Barrhaven. Following this devastating incident, we are petitioning to have the quarry drained or filled in- for the safety of others. Once the target of 3,000 signatures has been met, a letter, along with the petition, will be sent to Mattamy Homes (who own this quarry). We are hoping they will see the importance of preventing any other incident.
Jimmy's death is the second since 2003, when 18-year-old Sami Mohammed also drowned.

Thank you for taking the time to read, sign and share the petition. No parent should have to bury their child.
Rest in peace Jimmy, you will be missed.

Enough is enough. Signs and fences don't prevent kids from being put in harm's way. Surely something can be done to lower the water level!
Mattamy homes should have put up a fence along with the signs instead of just putting up signs. My sympathies to the family and friends of a young man gone too soon.
R.I.P Jimmy . It should be drained and demolish complelty to avoid any further incidents.
Please act to fence off the quarry and spare any more parents the heartache of having to outlive their children.
My condolences to Jimmy's family and friends. Do the right thing Mattamy and fence this area so this never happens again.
Looks like they started draining the Barrhaven quarry this week. They had a large diesel pump there this morning (July 10 2020) pulling water out and dumping it into a drainage ditch. This pump wasn't there a few days ago the last time I passed by. Looks like Mattamy Homes is getting ready to develop this area.
A horrible and tragic event. Putting up a fence may prevent a similar occurrence. Do the right thing Mattamy.

Svp, veuillez prendre cela au sérieux avant qu'il n'y ait d'autres victimes. La vie d' un humain est trop précieuse.
