I live within a block of St. Helen’s. This area has transitioned from an industrial to predominantly residential and commercial. St.helen’s is a holdover from a bygone era. Their current level of emissions is unacceptable for a residential area. There’s a lot of young children who live here and a popular playground next to the factory. For the safety of the community, the Ministry and St. Helen’s should be working on reducing the CURRENT LEVELS, not increasing the toxic emissions. Ostensibly they will argue this will be economically beneficial. Let me assure you that it will not improve our local economy - in fact it will further depress a transitioning area. Shops, restaurants, brewpubs and real estate will all be adversely affected.
