I believe that this proposal for an Environmental Compliance Approval with Limited Operational Flexibility (Air & Noise) should be declined. As a new resident to the area, the stockyards in West Toronto are a thing of the past. This area is now heavily populated and an area that is continuing to grow. Many of the pockets offer somewhat more affordable housing attracting young families and first-time home buyers. By the approval of this application, the Ontario government is clearly stating that they care more about corporations, then building affordable communities that are sustainable and environmentally friendly. This neighborhood has already been dealt a blow with the approval of the new purchase of land by St. Helen’s (Another meat processing plant) at 200 Rockcliffe Court across for a school and green space. The government needs to acknowledge that this area has evolved and that these types of operations don’t belong in communities.
