NOVA Chemicals updates community on latest Joffre site news
Roughly 40 people attended an Open House at the Haynes Community Hall near Clive on April 18 to learn more about the latest updates at NOVA Chemicals near Joffre.
The bi-annual event not only gives the company a chance to hear directly from its neighbours but for nearby residents to be able to ask questions directly from those with the company who work at the site east of Red Deer.
Rick Van Hemmen, Site Leader and Manufacturing Director for NOVA Chemicals, Western Canada says last Wednesday’s event was a fairly routine one in many ways.
“We gave our usual updates on how things are going at the Joffre site for NOVA,” admits Van Hemmen. “That could be everything from business activities to our responsible care. That would be safety, health, environment, emergency response-type updates.”
