Siren Operation – Emergency Drill – May 8th, 2025 – 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 8th 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.
Together for a shared safety culture
As part of its commitment to sustainable development, CEZinc has implemented an ambitious program to meet the highest international health and safety standards. This commitment to the community is based in particular on the consolidation of a safety culture shared by all.
CEZinc ensures the safety of its facilities and operations through a series of measures, including ongoing technical checks and regular audits. Emergency procedures are reviewed annually as part of a continuous improvement process. An emergency response team, made up of first responders, is on standby at the plant at all times. During drills, CEZinc will deploy a team to meet with residents and answer their questions.
In the event of a major industrial accident, CEZinc has two emergency sirens to alert the public. The sirens are located at the corner of Route 530 and Boulevard Gérard-Cadieux and on the roof of CEZinc's water treatment plant.
CEZinc is an active member of the Salaberry-de-Valleyfield CMMI (joint municipal-industrial committee) and works closely with the city, the fire department, and the Sûreté du Québec to ensure the safety of all citizens and users of the city.
