SARNIA — Residents will learn Tuesday how a proposed multi-billion-dollar oil refinery would affect the area’s people and environment.
Shell Canada has completed field studies on air, water and human health for the proposed mega-project near Courtright and will present preliminary findings at a Point Edward open house.
“It’s really open to anybody who has an interest in the project and wants to learn more about our progress on the environmental assessment,” said Shell’s Leigh Anne Richardson.
The technical reports studied noise and light pollution, existing soil contamination and the potential effects a massive new refinery might have on human health, water, air and the economy.
If the project proceeds, it would be on a scale seldom seen in Ontario, with thousands of workers hired to build the plant and hundreds of lasting jobs.
About 1,100 people turned out for two earlier open houses. While many touted the economic benefits of the project, some expressed concern about environmental damage, Richardson said.
“We want to make sure we do address those concerns.”
Shell hopes to turn the environmental assessment over to Ontario by the end of April, with a decision possible in late 2008.
If the refinery goes ahead, parts of Shell’s existing plant near Corunna will be shut down, Richardson confirmed.
Shell Canada has optioned about 2,400 hectares of property south of Courtright for an upgrading and refining facility to process heavy crude from Alberta. If regulatory approvals fall into place, Shell is expected to make a final decision in 2009.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
