"Stop the Stink"
If you live in Pickering or the very surrounding area pay close attention. The fight to stop a Sewage Odour Control Facility built in Pickering is still ongoing. This facility is being proposed by York Region.
This is a 25 acre project slated to go into the area of Altona Road and Third Concession in Pickering. Studies have shown that no one can guarantee that this facility will not emit foul odours into the air.
Wind studies have shown that air travels south east over the facility most of the time. There are no promises that the emissions expelled from the 40 foot stack will not reach our neighborhoods.
What does this mean for us in the community? We don't really know all of the long term effects from this? What could possibly happen to our property values? What about new housing developments that are in the area?
I sure don't want to look out of my windows to see this 40 foot stack in the air or smell it.
There are many ways to get involved:
•· Go to the website for full and up to date information www.stopthestink.ca
•· Sign the petition
•· Contact your regional and city councilors
•· Attend the meetings and fundraisers
There is a vast array of information on the website. I just wanted to bring it to light
