Please do not allow Ssonix Products to reopen. The Port Weller community is still deeply shaken by the loss of one of our community members during the explosion. Our condolences go to his family. We cannot afford to have another tragedy.
Keefer Rd site is not suited for storage of hazardous materials in any form. Spills could, and probably did, enter the creek which enters a residential area and eventually Lake Ontario. I live across the street from this creek.

I am strongly opposed to the re-opening of Ssonix on Keefer Road. The above mentioned site is not suited at all to store hazardous materials. First of all this site should have never been approved as it is close to a residential area and other businesses.

The area where Ssonix Products is located is in a business park that has light to medium industrial businesses. In no way could Ssonix Products be considered light or medium industrial when they are handling chemicals and hazardous materials.

Absolutely shocked that after the negligent operation of the facility, resulting in us being shooken from our bed BEFORE we heard the explosion, that this operator-owner would have the audacity to even apply for a permit to move forward.

I can't believe this could get approved seeing as to what happened at this site. 84 fire code violations tells the story. This site is too close to residential areas.

As a resident of Port Weller East, I strongly disagree with SSonix being able to continue their operation in the current location. I have never heard of a cause of explosion being released where a life was lost and caused the evacuation of an entire community.

I was appalled to understand that a hazardous waste facility was metres away from I live. This was the “worse kept secret”. Driving through the “soft core” industrial park shows little noise, pollution, etc. that would suggest any activity to be concerned about.

This is absurd. They killed their own employee with explosion and cracked the foundation of our home. Gave the whole neighborhood ptsd forever. Don't ever allow to open them again
1. I don't think it's a good idea to have industrial waste so close to residences. When the explosion happened last year, I saw embers floating over the houses.

As residents of Blossom Common my wife and I, were like most in the area awoken by the loud explosion and several other ones. We were asked to evacuate our home. On the fateful day that saw a man lose his life.

My wife and I live less than 100 yards from the site of the explosion in January. This was by far one of the most traumatic events we have ever experienced and we have no desire to ever experience anything like that again. Not only do I not think Ssonix should be allowed to rebuild the facility.

I hope you will consider not letting Ssonix Products 2010 Inc. reopen.
Our area has been through enough including the death of Ryan Konkin. It is still very much on the minds of us who were evacuated that day.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN,
I AM DEEPLY CONCERNED THAT THE AUTHORITY IS CONSIDERING GIVING ANY APPROVAL TO SSONIX PRODUCTS 2010 INC. TO AGAIN OPEN THEIR FACILITY ON KEEFER ROAD ST. CATHARINES UNTIL ALL 84 CHARGES AGAINST THEM ARE ELIMINATED.
I HAVE LIVED IN THE AREA FOR 33 YEARS ,

I am opposed to this proposal. With 84 charges outstanding I believe it is irresponsible to allow this company to again conduct a business handling hazardous materials before this matter has been resolved in the courts, particularly since a man died as a direct result of this fire.

This company should definetly NOT be allowed to reopen in this location. One person has already lost his life - DO NOT put many more people in danger.
