Local Issues

There are quite a few environmental issues that affect this mixed industrial urban riding. Contamination from a number of industrial sites such as Hub Oil, Lynwood Ridge Esso Refinery, Inglewood Refinery and CPR track degreaser contamination in Ogden.


Lynwood Ridge is a ghost town with blocks of empty houses in limbo.


High crime areas, in lower income neighborhoods such as Forest Lawn and Inglewood attract a disproportionate number of ethnic gangs, and prostitutes.


The Bow River wier is also a huge problem and has been described as a death trap.
