In October 2024, GFL launched a community relations initiative to foster better communications with community members living in proximity to the GFL Stoney Creek Regional Facility.

To this end, GFL has:

  • Established a community relations email address (scrfcommunityrelations@gflenv.com), where community members can send comments, questions, or concerns and will receive a direct response from our community relations coordinator.

  • Staffed a dedicated community relations position responsible for having one-on-one dialogue with Stoney Creek community members in person, over the phone and/or by email.

  • Created a dedicated space on our website to summarize key feedback received and responses provided.

Please note that our community relations initiative is distinct from the complaint protocol, which would continue to be used for operational complaints such as odour occurrences.

The following summarizes comments that we have received:

Community Member Feedback

GFL Response

It would be useful to post the City of Hamilton Public Health Services Air Monitoring Studies (conducted by a third party) and the information report summarizing the results to Public Health Committee on the gflstoneycreek.com web page or document library for community access to the report.

Links to the reports listed below have been posted to our Community Relations page on our website.

GFL will also provide the reports to our external consultant that conducts a third-party health risk assessment annually and that is included in our annual report, issued June 30th.
