Schreiner: INEOS Shutdown Fails to Protect Aamjiwnaang Community from Toxic Spikes

July 2, 2025

QUEEN'S PARK — Ontario Greens leader Mike Schreiner released the following statement in response to news that dangerously high benzene levels persist near Aamjiwnaang First Nation

“The recent shutdown of the INEOS Styrolution plant is not enough to protect the people of Aamjiwnaang First Nation, who continue to face dangerous spikes in toxic air pollution.

This ongoing harm is a direct result of decades of government failure, and it is a clear example of environmental racism.

The Ford government must take urgent, concrete action to protect the health and rights of Aamjiwnaang residents and to regulate industrial emissions in the province.

No more excuses, no more delays.”
