We hava an abundance of industry...
we live in a valley...
if the is no wind...we have bad air...
there I save you a whole bunch of money,,,,
go home and find another way to waste my tax money

Nobody has the guts to go after the industry and mills in the area....So lets just blame it on the smokers again.....This world is becoming a real sick joke....and untill the politican is hit with it.....nothing will ever get done....
You all have a nice day....just don't breath deep

Then again maybe they will be tough....and give the mills 10 or 15 years to clean it up...of course extensions will be available if they wine

I didn't see anything about smokers? That is another story!
Industrial ones for sure...Is there an answer...

Maybe....but it won't be easy and it won't happen over night....and it sure won't be inexpensive.

Dont forget that the City wants to build a Wood Burning (Hog Fuel) Co-Generation plant to heat water to heat Government, and some Business buildings in the Downtown Core. These buildings are already heated by Natural Gas, and could if necessary be heated by Electricity, but no, what we want to do is tear up all the streets, and all the buildings, and heat them with Hot Water., this of course will add to the **Bad Air** situation, but who give a s---. Certainly not those at City Hall. I doubt if they even think in terms of what effects their various and sundry ideas have on the City as a whole.

Polluting industry is sprinkled throughout the airshed for even distribution no matter the wind direction.

By implimenting a community plan that recognizes polluters and zones them for the North East of the city in an industrial zone down wind would do wonders for the entire airshed, 85% of the time more than now.

Some forsight would tie it in with a ring road for industrial traffic.

The pavement plants are obvious and easily mobile. BCR should be grandfathered green, and new pollution should be minimum Shelly east.

Now that's what PACHA should be endorsing Chadermando when you say


"Some forsight would tie it in with a ring road for industrial traffic."

All you new comers are bitchin about a situation that is nothing compared to what it used to be.

But, the situation will get better as mills close and people start to leave town. Just push harder to make it happen sooner. Canfor would really like to close one of the pulp mills and consolidation in the sawmills by Canfor makes it possible for Canfor to be pushed into shutting down one or more their in town mills.

A new super mill up in Salmon Valley would employ one third or less of the current workers and make it possible to close Rustads, PG Wood, Winton Global and push others into closing down or selling out to Canfor.

I like the smell of fresh cut wood, the kilns and the other mill smells. But for those that don't, get behind Canfor as I think that would be the company with deep enough pockets to really clean this town out. Just give the company an excuse.

All that will be left is the silence and river fog.

Oh, and Betty.

Thankyou GoFaster, that was an excellent response. I knew the air could smell like dirty diapers when I moved here, if it boiled down to shutting down industry in PG or staying and making a fair wage I'll take the latter any time. Moving forward the city should be encourging industry to develop out of town, but lets not start pushing the existing business infastructure away, PG needs them.

There is no new Industry on the drawing board that I am aware of that is coming to town. Some of the Industry that is here will be closing down, so at the end of the day we should have less pollution. There has been no new major industries built in the Prince George area in the last 30 years/ (No high rises either) A few new sawmills were built, however there were quite a few sawmills closed down. Net effect (Nil) Some expansion at the Pulp Mills, however overall the Pulp Mills downsized over the last 20 years by at least 1000 jobs.

No need to worry about future pollution from new Industry, *it aint gonna happin*
