Class Action Lawsuit Filed against Lafarge

A class-action lawsuit against Lafarge Canada and its cement plant in Exshaw for allegedly creating environmental hazards has been launched by an Alberta resident.

Napoli Shkolnik Canada, a class-action litigator based in Calgary and Hamilton, filed the suit on Dec. 6 at the Calgary Court of King’s Bench on behalf of Sandra Furlonger.

The 10-page statement of claim states in addition to “constant, excessive and unreasonable levels of noise that can be heard from neighbouring and nearby properties,” the cement plant also creates “huge clouds” of dust.

The lawsuit states Furlonger owns property less than a kilometre away from the plant.

The lawsuit states Lafarge increased the cement plant’s capacity in 2013, which significantly grew the amount of dust.
