Toxic creosote in Calgary's West Village not our problem, says Domtar

A predecessor of Domtar Corp. owned and operated a wood-preserving plant on the 15-hectare parcel until 1962 and earlier this week, Alberta Environment and Parks confirmed it had “initiated conversations with potential responsible parties.”

“Until we have a definitive plan presented to us, we cannot speculate on any potential actions or outcomes and it would be inappropriate at this time to discuss the issue of remediation in any detail,” Jamie Hanlon, spokesman for Alberta Environment and Parks, said in an email.

But Domtar spokesman David Struhs said the company does not have any responsibility for the creosote contamination and will not be involved in any potential cleanup of the site.

“Domtar has never operated at this site,” Struhs said in a brief email.
