This plant already has an adverse effect on the quality of life for residents living in the area - the odour is terrible all seasons of the year, and discourages us from opening our windows even when the weather is nice, thereby increasing our air conditioning use. Read more

Considering the sickening smell that is already coming from the area, I couldn't imagine it getting even worse. On warm days we can't walk around due to the smell. With the smell potentially becoming worse, I imagine all the business would end up closing down from the lack of foot traffic. Read more

St Helen's Meat Packers is one of, if not the last vestige of an industry that no longer belongs within the city limits. Moreso it does not belong in such close proximity to residential neighborhoods, and schools. Read more

Hello, I live one block away from St.Helen's and I am concerned about these expansions. The emissions created by St.Helen's are gross and hard to breathe. Our community is full of young families with children, even families from surrounding neighbourhoods come to enjoy Maple Clair Park. Read more

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. Read more

My parents live in this neighbourhood, and so do some of my other immediate family members. It feels like a dumping ground, and I feel people who live there are never given a chance. The community is not given a chance to thrive. Read more

My family resides in Ward 5 York-South Weston (formerly Ward 11) of the City of Toronto. The proposal to amend an environmental compliance approval to allow for St.Helen's Meat Packers Ltd.'s to use polluting and odour emitting sources is irresponsible, insensitive, and reckless. Read more

Please do not allow this to happen. There are a lot of families in this neighbourhood we already smell raw meet quite often. We can not increase the smell. Asthma rates went up and it will become even worse.
