Provincial Environment Minister Margaret-Ann Blaney says she will be meeting with a number of people related to a proposed 30-million dollar metal shredder at the metal recycling facility on Pier 10 over west after hearing concerns.



American Iron and Metal says the new facility will create 23-jobs. The provincial Environment Department has limited jurisdiction since the facility is located on federally controlled land.


The city has no jurisdiction but the company has a letter before Common Council tonight asking for its support. Blaney tells CHSJ News it's a matter of finding the right balance.
