It is time for the citizens of Kelowna to demand Tolko Mills to clean up their act if they wish to be respected in this community.
The attached letter is from 2014, when the Mayor was Walter Gray. Now we have a new Mayor and Council and it is time they stepped up.
The attached picture was taken July 25th, 2016 and shows Tolko's stacks pumping carcinogenic pollutants into our environment.
As I journey further into this issue and lack of care for the citizens of Kelowna, I hear many stories of how we got there. The boilers at Tolko, I have been told, are from the 40's or 50's and have not been upgraded. The pollution scrubbers need upgraded boilers to be efficient. In 1972, I have been told, the government of BC grandfathered Tolko's equipment.
At one point, the City of Kelowna backed away from this issue because they received free electrical power from Tolko. How incredibly shallow.
Free power doesn't justify free cancer.
