Siren Operation – Emergency Drill – May 7th, 2026 – 11 a.m.

NOTICE TO CITIZENS: CEZinc, along with the municipalities of Salaberry-de-Valleyfield, Saint-Louis-de-Gonzague, and Saint-Stanislas-de-Kostka, would like to inform citizens that a public alert drill will take place on May 7th at 11 a.m.

The operation will last between 5 and 10 minutes. While the sirens may be heard beyond the targeted area, only businesses and residents of Salaberry-de-Valleyfield located within a 3.5 km radius of the CEZinc plant will receive a test message from the Automated Emergency Messaging System (SAM).

NO action is required on your part. The end of the siren will signal the conclusion of the drill.

The Liaison Committee reflects the vitality of the community, as it is made up of representatives of local residents and organizations.

This is a unique opportunity to get involved in your community

The CEZinc Refinery Liaison Committee is looking for new members to represent different sectors of the regional community. The Liaison Committee is independent from CEZinc. Its role is to communicate to the company the issues that the public has about its activities and to report back to the company all the information it receives.

Since its establishment, the Committee has organized a number of activities. In particular, it has met with company representatives to learn about the work in progress, the risks associated with the site and the health and safety management system. It has presented the results of these efforts to the public at a number of events.

The members of the Liaison Committee represent the following sectors: business, environment, public administration, education, health and social services. The committee also includes residential, agricultural and industrial neighbours.
