Residents in southeast Calgary have experienced smoke, odour and understandable uncertainty as a result of the September fire. ECCO recognizes the disruption and concern this has caused, particularly for families, businesses and community facilities near the site. Residents deserve clear information about the fire, the work taking place at the property, airquality monitoring and the site’s future. The ECCO property has supported several distinct operations over its history. Understanding the difference between the current fire response, landfill closure, materials recovery and future reclamation is important to understanding what is happening at the site today. Above all the multi-purpose current uses at ECCO, regional and site safety issues remain paramount.
