Aamjiwnaang First Nation issued the precautionary evacuation notice for select areas near the plant’s fence line.

The styrene plant was shut down in April after a massive spike in cancer-causing benzene levels was picked up.

The company has since announced plans to permanently close by 2026 and says it has been mandated to remove benzene from the site by October 16 .
