Have you read this? It’s heartbreaking to hear the voices as they tell their experience of the toll the industrial noise from the Donkin coal mine is having on them. @TimHoustonNS - just stop the noise!

“It was shocking to hear these stories. The other thing was just how much they connected to each other that there was clearly a pattern of disruption that was also being minimized & downplayed.” ⁦@TimHoustonNS⁩ Stop the noise. It’s making us sick! https://t.co/MSDb38iJ6S

fed & prov gov are trying to keep seniors aging well in their homes but the #DonkinMine noise pollution & unsafe trucking of coal are working against that goal. @TimHoustonNS @mikekelloway
