Daycare Site Smell Sparks Concern | Canada News

A foul, chemical-like odor—some say like creosote—is poisoning daily life in Pointe-St-Charles, Montreal, near a construction site slated for a new 200-spot daycare. Residents, including a new parent, are terrified to send kids to the facility or even walk past. The daycare group, which bought the site in 2024, admits they knew about contamination but weren’t prepared for the intensity. Tests show levels below safety thresholds, but trust is thin. Authorities are monitoring, and the daycare is working to mitigate the smell while staying on schedule—balancing progress with public safety and community concern.
