Apparently Algoma steel is askin
I am vehemently opposed to this given the health risks to our community. These risks are unacceptable.
The Algoma district had an overall cancer incidence of 608/100000 in 2020 (the most current data from Cancercare Ontario);

I thought this government was going to crack down on polluters. Also, what's with having standards, when no-one has to follow them? If there is new installations going on and renovations happening, Algoma steel should not require site-specific standards. Thanks.
I have lived in close proximity to Algoma Steel for more than 30 years now. There has never been a time that seemed to have less particulate over any other time that I can remember. Things noticeably begin to accumulate as soon as the sun sets and taper off prior to sun rise.

I have lived at P6C 1B3 in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario since 1978. I have been dealing with the smoke, pollution, noise, and particulate fallout from the steel plant and it is getting worse not better.

This is absolutely ridiculous. We live in a beautiful city that already faces way too much noise, water and air pollution from the steel plant. We have one of the highest levels of Multiple Sclerosis in Canada and we wonder why?

As a physician in Sault Ste Marie I am against an environmental waiver of any kind for ALGOMA Steel given that Sault Ste Marie has the highest cancer rates in the province per 100,000 population. If any thing they should be more stringent.

I have an issue with the request by Algoma Steel to exceed emission standards. They have disregarded these laws time and again. The pitch black smoke coming from their stacks in late evenings is disturbing.

Apparently Algoma steel is asking for exemptions to its emissions until the new furnace is completed (est 2029). Our cancer rates are extremely concerning.

I grew up here. I've seen the high cancer rates within my own family. Previous exemptions have
already allowed Algoma Steel to exceed standards by several hundred percent, why are we adding to

I am a concerned resident of Sault Ste. Marie. I have lived in Sault Ste. Marie all of my life and raised a family here. I reside in the West End of town on Royce Avenue. Over the past year, I have had growing concerns regarding the level of emissions coming from Algoma Steel.

The Algoma Steel Corporation has functioned under special environmental exceptions for too long. The effects of the chemical and air pollution produced by the industry can be seen in the St. Mary's river, but more importantly the city's cancer rates.

It is unsafe and unlawful to grant Algoma Steel Inc. exemptions from the province wide standards that are supposed to be adhered to. Granting them further exemptions will only add to the problem.

Please do not grant Algoma Steel any more exemptions from air and noise pollution standards. They have been allowed to pollute the city for long enough.
Please enforce the standards that have already been in place, and please place greater standards on the Plant going forward.
