Keep yourself in the loop and subscribe to the CleanAir List.
The cleanair list at is concerned with air quality in the Georgia Basin, particularly on southern Vancouver Island and the southern Gulf Islands. The list serve was launched when Norske Canada announced plans to conduct a 30 month trial burn at their Crofton mill using coal, railway ties, and tires as fuel.
If you would like to contribute to our fundraising efforts, Reach For
Unbleached is accepting donations on our behalf. Funds received will be
used to investigate the Crofton Mill emissions and their effects, and
to encourage the best possible pollution prevention options.
Cheques may be mailed directly to:

Include your name and address if you would like a charitable tax receipt.
Crofton Division claims to "respond to community calls in real time.
People who call 246-6100 (and press zero) speak to an employee at the
main gate, who logs the call and assesses urgency. For odour and
fallout inquiries, notice is sent immediately to the shift engineer who
returns calls seven days a week.
"We aim to return all calls as soon as possible, taking time of day into consideration when returning calls."
