PG AIR Talks Transportation Emissions
Prince George, B.C. – The public is invited to a meeting tonight to hear how the transportation sector is making progress in reducing emissions.
One of the key components to the PM2.5 levels in Prince George has been emissions from vehicles, including the activity in the CN Rail yards and trucking traffic on First Avenue and Queensway.
This evening, the provincial Ministry of Environment’s Dennis Fudge will be one of the panelists providing an introduction to the "Prince George Transportation Emission Profile"
Efforts underway by the City of Prince George to reduce emissions will be detailed by Dan Milburn and Scott Bone, while David Sutherland will talk about CN’s sustainability plan. In addition, Dennis Regoza will talk about the Scrap it program which encourages people to get rid of their older, less environmentally friendly vehicles.
The evening session is set to start at 6:30 this evening in room 204 at the Civic Centre.

“Dennis Regoza will talk about the Scrap it program which encourages people to get rid of their older, less environmentally friendly vehicles”.
More like older, less environmentally friendly pulp mills!
yep, we give in to all the bleeding hearts and we are work on the sides of the roads trying to sell trinkets to tourist.
I say no more funding for the Air Fairies, if Industrial Prince George is that bad, than move out.
“the provincial Ministry of Environment’s Dennis Fudge” .. hehe, what a perfect name for a bureaucrat.
The pulp mills just spent millions to reduce their emissions.
An AirCare provincial inspection station in Prince George (why do we not have one???) would automatically eliminate a lot of dirty vehicle exhaust pollution as people would have to take their vehicles in for repairs if they don’t meet the emission standards for the year of manufacture. If they don’t the vehicle is off the road.
A few days ago I ended up driving behind a smoking vehicle which polluted the air with big clouds of blue smoke. Had to drop way back and put on the A/C in order to be able to breathe.
The rail lines of CN should be electrified. Which government department lets CN get away with all this diesel soot pollution?
Knock, knock! Anybody on the job in the ivory towers?
