The Meeting

I'm so proud to live in this neighbourhood. Truly. The people here are fantastic and they care deeply about this place. There were about 20 residents who attended tonight's meeting. A couple said that the noise didn't bother them personally but that they were there to show their support for neighbours who were affected by the noise. Many were kind enough to share their own experiences.

One of the things that we were asked this evening was the times/days that the noise takes place. Here's the thing, there doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason to when the noise occurs. Late at night, early evening, mid-morning, late afternoon... it's all over the place. What days? Again, there's no clear pattern that we can make out.

Today there was quite a bit of banging this morning, a bit of reefer noise, tomorrow there could be nothing at all, the next day reefers may run for hours on end. Some noise we don't hear at all but our neighbours will say they are disrupted. There are times we're faced with a great deal of noise that they can't hear. It really is difficult to pinpoint times and dates.

This blog expresses my personal experience with the noise bombardment from CB Freezers/Chill Chain Logistics. I don't expect it to make one bit of difference to the actual sound assessment. Residents know full well that CB Freezers/Chill Chain Logistics are the source of the noise issues in this neighbourhood and that activities at the facility exceed all other neighbourhood noise. We welcome an honest, unbiased study. All we're hoping for is the truth to be revealed, and some sort of resolution.
