I have asthma and struggle to breathe throughout the cold months due to my neighbours’ chimney smoke…
From March to October I’ve had to tape up every window in our house to stop the smoke from neighbouring chimneys…
My quality of life declines as my right to breathe clean air is completely disregarded…
The smoke from a neighbour’s wood heater fills the house… Planned burns by government reduce the air quality for days on end…
My next door neighbor burns wood. During the winter his stove is running 12–18 hours straight.
I left the area, only to be faced with woodsmoke issues from wood stoves and fire pits in the new area.
It’s very acrid and so strong it comes indoors even with all windows shut. I frequently have burning eyes and nose or coughing…
So we pay the price for ignorance, poor ordinance, years of fighting for our property rights, the stress, the duress, the financial burdens, and now the physical death of my husband…
The end result is that the air quality…is much worse than in many urban areas I have lived before…
