Grace Arsenault, spokesperson for The Future of the North-end residents’ group: “I think would love to see this whole incident disappear, just keep it as quiet as possible.” JEREMY FRASER/CAPE BRETON POSTSYDNEY — The spokesperson for a north-end residents community group is calling Imperial Oil’s financial compensation and ensuing responses from a July refinery terminal gas leak “an insult.”
“For those who may have incurred documented, out-of-pocket costs beyond this amount, please forward your information to Crawford. The information will be considered on a case-by-case basis.” In an interview with the Cape Breton Post following the July incident, Imperial Oil’s public and government affairs manager, Keri Scobie, said a front-end loader"was working in the area and inadvertently made contact with the tank," at the Sydney facility, which caused the rupture and subsequent fuel spill.
The Post contacted Crawford Insurance Group’s Ken MacLeod to find out how Imperial Oil derived at the $250-per-household compensation, whether this amount was sufficient is this amount, and why not a higher amount, given the seriousness of the evacuation.Posing the same queries to the petroleum giant, an Ontario-based spokesperson replied via email that “as we communicated to residents, we recognize those evacuated were inconvenienced due to being directed to leave their homes for several hours.
“It’s time to make people aware that enough is enough,” she said. “There comes a time when you have to step up and say this is not right. This shouldn’t be in a residential neighbourhood”
