Stench at Thickson and Victoria

Anyone know what the deal is with the smell in this area lately? Smells similar to chlorine (but not quite)and is quite wide spread

There's a manufacturer just south of that area (Atlantic Packaging Products). It wouldn't surprise me if that's what you were smelling.

Thanks, you're probably right. I feel bad for the people who work down there-- yikes!

Yeah, depending on where and when you're in the area, some of the industry puts out some really nasty stuff into the air. There's a large industrial area by the waterfront trail in Whitby, and if you go at the "wrong" time, it smells like they're burning tires. I get an instant headache if I'm unfortunate enough to be there when they're doing it. I can't imagine working or living in the area, TBH.
