Good for him! As per a previous Beach Banner, I called the Ministry of the Environment last weekend when the smell in the area was so thick and toxic I couldn't stand to be outside. To my surprise an MOE representative showed up at my house 2 days later (I called on a Saturday, they showed up Monday during business hours) to inquire about the smell. He even went so far as to have me walk down the street with him over to Eastport to find out if the smell was from the seagulls. I explained it wasn't a natural smell like they create and that it was definitely some kind of industrial fumes. He said I should call every time I smell it. I'm hoping it shows up one day when I'm home from work and it's a business day so that I can get them to come down here and smell it for themselves.
