If you've ever been jolted by the deafening roar of a leaf blower- or worried about the air your family breathes, you're not alone.
And your voice matters.
Gasbusters is a growing movement of residents demanding an end to the noise and pollution caused by gas powered leaf blower
These machines are extreme polluters, dumping up to 30% of their fuel unburned into the air as toxic exhaust. They blanket our neighbourhoods in noise and fumes, often day after day.
Now action is underway.
Supporting Council’s motion, the Medical Officer of Health and the Chief Communications Officer will coordinate the use of the City's communication channels to get the message that city operations, businesses, and residents refrain—wherever practical —from using gas-powered leaf blowers, when wildfire smoke pushes the Air Quality Health Index into the high or very high risk range. ( 7 - 10 ) .
Cleaner air. Quieter streets. Healthier communities.
Stand With Us Because,
The noxious fumes blasted out aren’t just irritating — they pose a real and preventable danger to our health.
Over two hundred cities in the USA and Canada have banned or severely restricted their use.
The high-velocity blast of air strips aways critical habitat and may injure insects — including bees, butterflies, and other pollinators
The noise exceeds safe limits for human hearing and can cause permanent hearing loss.
