SOMETHING DOES NOT SMELL RIGHT, RESIDENTS SAY

In the last couple of months residents have called us with concerns about odours from the Atlantic Packaging plant on Progress Ave.  We responded by notifying the company about these concerns and worked with Atlantic Packaging to develop a solution.

Residents who had concerns and contacted our office were invited to attend a meeting at the Atlantic Packaging facility with company management and my office. Residents asked questions about processes used in the plant. Atlantic Packaging staff answered these questions and agreed to set up a process that makes it easy for residents to make their complaints heard and to get quick action. Residents who attended the meeting were invited to tour the plant. Following the meeting, Atlantic Packaging emailed each resident updates about the steps being taken to "clear the air."

The company has advised me that they are taking the odour issue seriously and they will do everything possible to locate the problem and correct it. Atlantic Packaging has appointed their Environmental Systems Manager, Fatima Correia to be the company contact for resident complaints on this issue. She can be reached at 416 298-5431 or by email at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
