Working together to improve Cornwall's air quality
 


Clean Air Cornwall
was formed in November 2001 as an autonomous committee to continue the progress made by the former Air Quality Improvement Committee, a Chamber of Commerce economic renewal initiative.  Through dialogue, we encourage industries to reduce air emissions, and we open the lines of communication between local industries and residents. The administration of Clean Air Cornwall has been supported through a grant provided by the Ontario Trillium Foundation to the St. Lawrence River Institute of Environmental Sciences.  

The mandate of Clean Air Cornwall, endorsed by a resolution of Cornwall City Council, is as follows:

  • To encourage and collaborate with industries and others in the development and implementation of policies and programs that promote a clean outdoor air environment
     

  • To review industries with significant air emissions including those reporting under Environment Canada’s National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI);
     

  • To participate in the Provincial Environmental Assessment Process for Air Approvals where deemed appropriate;
     

  • To consult with other stakeholders and agencies including the Ontario Ministry of Environment (MOE), the Eastern Ontario Health Unit, and City of Cornwall Departments in matters pertaining to outdoor air quality;
     

  • To communicate with the Council of the City of Cornwall in matters pertaining to outdoor air quality; and
     

  • To prepare an annual progress report on the activities of the Cornwall Clean Air Committee.
