neighbourhood volunteers have been watching emissions from ArcelorMittal Dofasco.
The trends we’ve observed are extremely troubling; while the company is supposed to be in
the midst of implementing a $16 million fiveyear air quality improvement plan called ‘Blue
Skies’, the sky over the plant is far from being
blue. Instead, stack watchers are noticing
more frequent and more significant emissions
from various parts of the facility.

PipeWatch is Back!
Raw coke oven gas spews out of an AMDs coke plant from a plugged
stand pipe— a problem that regular maintenance can prevent.
Environment Hamilton's PipeWatch program is
back and ready for action. Are you looking to get
involved in improving the environment in your
community? Are you interested in making a difference? PipeWatch needs you! PipeWatch was
one of the first programs Environment Hamilton
introduced back in 2002/03. The project focused
back then on the Red Hill Creek Watershed and
will focus on this area again—with particular emphasis on storm and combined sewer discharges
into the watershed’s Red Hill and Davis Creeks.

DustBusters Summer Blitz Comes to a Close
strained by the sheer
amount of work inherent
in governance. These
people have lives to live
and families to support,
often lacking the time
and energy required for
effective advocacy.
By the time you read
this, the Dustbusters initiative‘s summer blitz will
have officially wrapped
up. I can say that, personally, the opportunity
has been amazing.
Whether biking around
Hamilton's industrial
north-east and contributing to the hundreds of
photos Dustbusters has
collected, or sitting in the
EH office putting all the
pieces together, I have
personally had a blast.
Some of the most important work, regardless of
whatever change may
come about as a result
of the Dustbusters project, was engaging with
members in the community and witnessing the
impacts of compromised
air quality on the ground.
These folks have for
decades lived with everpresent dust and the
health concerns and
mortality rates that go
with it. While it may be
the norm in these areas,
it is not normal and they
know it. As I talked with
constituents (helped by
fellow summer interns
Lucas Chabot, Dante
Ryel, and EH staff member Katie Stiel) I encountered widespread support for our project, but
there was also a bitterness stemming from
decades of exposure to
a known health-risk with
little to no effective acton
to resolve the problem.
Too little pressure on the
regulatory systems, on a
City Council itself con-
But amid bitterness lay
an enduring attitude of
optimism, a sense that a
solution wasn't impossible, just difficult and
maybe far off. This optimism was infectious,
and helped propel the
Dusbusters campaign.
Our community support
emerged from bitter experience and the certain
knowledge that change
was still possible.
We set out with the
goals of documenting
the relationship between
industry and particulate
matter problems in Hamilton's north east end,
connecting and engaging with the communities
most affected, and reporting the evidence to
the city‘s By-Law Department. While Dustbusters has achieved
these goals, it has not
done so in a vacuum,
nor is the job done.
The Dustbusters initiative was built upon the
mobile monitoring research done by Dr.
Denis Corr and Clean
Air Hamilton. Our efforts
were sparked into being
by the McAnulty Neigbourhood‘s Lorna
Moreau, through her
presentation to City of
Hamilton's Board of
Health, and supported
by the efforts of mindful
and interested City
Councillors.
The initiative itself may
be wrapping up, but look
for our presentation to
the city‘s General Issues
Committee in the coming
months, and keep on the
lookout for change. In
May, Council moved to
have an Air-Quality Task
Force formed, and staff
at the Board of Health
have been quietly forming the what and the
how of the Task Force.
The Dusbusters initiative
will continue to meet
with those interested in
changing Hamilton's airquality for the better, and
will continue to lobby
council to find ways to
legislate around Hamilton's air-quality in ways
that will produce concrete improvements for
Hamiltonians.
Keep an eye out change may just be
closer than ever before.

Fruit Tree Project Update
The Fruit Tree Project got off to a
slow start this year, with funny
weather impacting on fruit crops.
But a front page story in the Hamliton Spectator soon changed all of
that. We‘re happy to report that the
phone has been ringing off the hook.
We have more trees than volunteers
to pick them all. If you‘re interested
in volunteering with the project, give
us a call at 905-549-0900. The bulk
of the fruit we pick is donated to local food banks.

Pears have been incredibly

Stinson Residents Provide Feedback Over Burgers
The Stinson Neighbourhood Action Plan Team
organized a Community
BBQ in Carter Park, a
popular local green
space.
The goal of the BBQ was
to display new plans for
the Park, and the plans
for the neighbourhood as
a whole.
The Action Plan was
generated by local residents, working through
the city‘s Neighbourhood
Development Strategy,
with funding partner, the
Hamilton Community
Foundation.
The Stinson community
identified several key
goals which included
creating neighbourhood
gathering spaces, building connections between
residents, as well as improving property standards.
These are just a few of
the many ideas generated at regular community meetings: input was
also gathered from residents of assisted living
homes in the area.
The BBQ offered an opportunity for people to
come out and see the
plan and to get feedback
On the day, more than
300 people came out to
the park to enjoy free
food and drinks, courtesy
of the project. The organizers had to run to
the store for more food
twice!
One of the team invited a
display from a local martial arts school, Taekwon
-Do Maximus and some
exotic birds from pet
store Urban Zoo.
The Neighbourhood
Planning Action Team
was on hand to answer
questions and to gather
additional suggestions
from their neighbours.
The suggestion box filled
up with new ideas (such
as improving the baseball court surface), as
well as several votes of
thanks for the hard work
the team has put in to
create the neighbourhood plan in the first
place.
Team members Elisabeth (far left) and Lee
(far right) explain proposed plans for Carter
Park to some residents. Lee, a graphic artist, volunteered his time to create the map.

The BBQ was a great
success itself and many
residents approached the
team to say they wanted
the BBQ event to come
back next year.

Summer Camps Go Green Again!
Building on last year's
success, we took our
popular Eco Fairs on the
road to summer camps
again. Our goal: to bring
environmentally-themed
activities to day camps
in low-income
neighbourhoods that
may not otherwise offer
this kind of programming.
We brought our fun, interactive games to the
city's North End and
Stinson neighbourhoods,
which included morning
sessions for children at
Ottawa Street's YWCA
and the new Hamilton
Regional Indian Centre.
Many of our Eco Fair
activities are developed
in-house and tested before they go out - and all
of them have an environmental message. The
Clean Air Shuffle is a
dance game played like
musical chairs but focused on teaching kids
about air quality problems. Our programming
also includes teaching
kids to make their own
eco-friendly laundry
soap, while learning
about water quality. Our
new Web of Life game
explores how food
chainswork. Finally, our
relay race game Top
Local Chef helps kids to
understand the importance of local food and
healthy eating.
Guest presenters at this
year‘s camps included
Paul Barrett from Green
Venture who taught the
kids how to put their bike
on a bus bike rack he
brought with him. Additionally, Chris Wilson
from the City of Hamilton
used a fake food relay
to show kids why food
scraps down the kitchen
sink are a Pain in the
Drain.
Campers play the Clean Air Shuffle at

activities in
low income
neighbourhoods.
We would like to extend
our thanks to the Conservers' Society of Hamilton & District and the
Small Change Fund for
supporting this successful program - and to EcoFair Coordinators Anna
& Breanne, and summer
interns Sarah and Dante
for running the eco fairs.

Community Energy Update
The Hamilton Halton Energy
Awareness Team (HHEAT) is
proud to announce that the renewable energy association it
helped form is moving ahead
and is officially incorporating.
Hamilton Association for Renewable Energy (HARE) will be incorporated as a not for profit organization by September 2012.
HARE's mission is to promote
renewable energy in the City of
Hamilton. HARE‘s vision is to
enable co-operative and other
forms of community-owned renewable energy to be developed
in Hamilton to reduce our environmental footprint and attain
greater sustainability through:
In return, HARE, who are in the earlier phases of development and
therefore are not yet able to proceed by reason of not having a project ready, can participate in a renewable energy projects and build
their future capacity.
Still not sure how a renewable
energy co-operative works?
Here's an example from SolarShare
Co-operative: when you join the coop as a member, you can invest
$1,000 bonds, with a 5-year term
and 5% annual return. The project
itself is backed by a 20-year power
purchase contract with the provincial power authority (OPA) ensuring
a low-risk, stable revenue stream.
You will not only be investing your
money, but also in the community
and the environment. It's the triple
bottom line: people, planet, profit.
Renewable energy co-ops are relatively new in Canada but they
abide by the same guiding principles of all co-ops.

projects
-Education of the public regarding the benefits of community

Members are negotiating a partnering opportunity with an already established renewable cooperative. As such HARE will be
seeking 50+ local property owners to join and invest in the cooperative. This will enable the
co-op to qualify for community
set aside capacity under the FIT
2.0 rules.

Our Latest Good Food Box Champion
Dr. Gregory Curnew ‘Spreads the Health’
Environment Hamilton
is very thankful for all
the work Hamilton Cardiologist Dr Gregory
Curnew has done to
help grow our Good
Food Box program. His
office distributes as
many as 90 Good Food
Boxes a month to patients and that number
is expected to grow!
As a cardiologist, Dr
Curnew does a lot of
work to promote
healthy living. He highlights the link between
diet and disease in order to prevent illness
before it happens. Dr
Curnew suggests that
we all need to eat more
of the four following
types of food: fruits and
vegetables, good fats,
grain products, and milk
and soy products. By
promoting the Good
Food Box Dr Curnew
has made the fruits and
vegetables we all need
to thrive available to
people who often have
a limited budget.
The Good Food Box
costs only $15 and includes 11 different fruits
and vegetables.
Alternatively, the program also offers the Eat
Local Box, which might
be more appealing to
Environment Hamilton
members who are keen
to support very local,
sustainable agriculture. The Eat Local
Box also contains 11
different fruits and
vegetables—all locally
sourced. Both boxes
are offered year
round. The Eat Local
Box costs $27 and provides a subsidy to help
the Good Food Box
program become more
financially and environ-
mentally sustainable.
We already have more
than 10 distribution
sites across Hamilton
but we are always looking to expand into
places like Dr Curnew‘s
medical clinic.
If you think that your
workplace, church, or
community might be
interested in helping
this important program
to grow we would love
to work with you. Contact Karen Burson at
Environment Hamilton for details.

Rural Routes Visits Waterhall Farm!
this Waterhall is helping
preserve the biodiversity
of our plants and is providing people with a
richer variety of nutrients.
Environment Hamilton hosted another great
Rural Routes trip in August when we visited Waterhall Farm.
However, Waterhall is
not a typical 21st century
farm. And I'm not just
saying that because they
sell antiques from centuries past. Although, it
must be said that their
antiques store is a must
see as the old relics are
situated alongside a
tranquil indoor pool.
Waterhall stands out
among the cash
crops and factory
farms of modern times,
raising instead an incredibly diverse selection of flora and
fauna. John Flechl, who
gave us an enlightening
tour of his farm, wants to
offer customers unique
products and experiences. In the process,
we all benefit as crop
rotation and crop diversity help eliminate the
need for pesticides, prevent the soil from being
depleted and drained of
nutrients and protect the
farm from vulnerability to
unexpected weather or
pests. On top of all of
While Waterhall farm is
not yet certified organic
they are operating in accordance with organic
values. Flechl says he
prefers to stay away
from herbicides because
he's not sure what effect
these chemicals have
on our health. Instead,
the Flechl family uses
people power and smart
design to eliminate
weeds and do the work
required to have a flourishing farm. On that
note, Waterhall loves
company so if you would
like to come by and help
out on the farm you will
be more than welcomed
by Flechl and his family.
Waterhall also has a petting zoo and a growing
variety of unique animals including rare
breeds of miniature
horses, goats, rabbits,
pigeons, turkeys,
chicken and even a resident peacock. The animals are not raised to be
eaten but they do help
the farm function and
provide nutrients for the
soil.
Rural Routes would like
to give a special thanks
to Waterhall Farm
and Brock Road General
Store for letting us park
our bus in their parking
lot.

Use Your Enviro Rights—Help Us Clear the Air!
ting include: particulate
matter, and arsenic, cobalt, lead, nickel and
other metals. We will
be submitting comments on these permit
applications through the
provincial Environmental Bill of Rights online registry. Our main
demand will be that any
metal cutting with
torches that create
emissions should happen in an enclosed facility with proper pollution control systems.
We need you to join us
in our efforts to prevent
more problem emissions in Hamilton's
north end. Concerned
about what you see in
this picture? It's a shot
of oxypropane metal
cutting torch emissions
generated at Triple M
Metal's Parkdale Avenue North scrapyard.
These emissions persist
despite requirements in
the company's provincial air permit that they
assess and control
them and despite the
fact that the company
was to install air emission controls and begin
to cut the most problematic metal pieces
indoors at its Strathearne facility. We're
pushing for the Ministry
of the Environment to
require that the com-
pany stop this problem.
But while we continue
to push for this situation
to be resolved, we're
also aware of the fact
that two more scrap
yards - Posner Metals
Limited on Beach Road
and American Iron and
Metal (AIM) -located
right next door to Triple
M's Parkdale yards have also applied for
provincial air permits in
order to be able to use
oxypropane metal cutting torches in their
yards. We're not saying
that the cutting has to
stop - but we believe
the way it's happening
now is unacceptable
and we don't want to
see more of the same
problems emerge. Contaminants emitted to our
air from this metal cut-
