You can’t always see it, but you can always smell it.

If you smell it, you are breathing in fine 

particulates and severe toxicants

Rutland County,

Benson

Forced from their home by wood smoke! Shame on this community!!!!

Winnipeg

Manitoba

 

An email from a reader of the site tells me that he is being invaded

 by wood smoke and can find no help to stop it!

 

 

Brantford

Ontario

No help here for those affected by a neighbour's smoke!

 

 

Simcoe

Ontario

Another area where the local municipality turns a deaf ear to complaints

regarding wood smoke invading surrounding homes.

 

 

Grand Bend

Ontario

A tourist area where folks come in and burn to their heart's content,

heedless of the noxious smoke effect on their neighbours. 

 

 

North Dumfries

Ontario 

Yet another area where smoke is an issue. Bylaws need to be put into

place there as now one burner is burning just to get even with another

burner who is smoking him out!

 

Calgary

Alberta

Outdoor burning is ruining the health and enjoyment of many residents. A ban needs to be created there!

Kamloops

British Columbia

When contacted, officials from Interior Health, advised that there is indeed a serious health risk

associated with residential wood burning appliances but that unlike other jurisdictions, Kamloops

has chosen not to impose any controls. The City’s own web site says that "(wood burning appliances )

can have significant safety, health and environmental impacts" but, when contacted about the problem,

the best advice from City officials was to consider taking "civil action for nuisance".

Spallumcheen British Columbia
The oldest municipality in B.C., and one of the smokiest! Watching to see if anything will be done there to decrease the smoke. Click here for a video of what one person has to live with!
