Chemical Valley Emergency Control Organization
 A
massive explosion in South-Western Ontario occurred the night of May
6th 1951, at an industrial site that was then called, Polysar Corporation.
Many members of the community made their way to the site. In the
process they put themselves in grave danger and hampered the movement of
emergency response vehicles.
In response to concern for community safety and well being, that same week
representatives of the Sarnia Police Service, Dow Chemical, Imperial Oil and Polymer met
to form the Chemical Valley Emergency Traffic Control Committee.
In 1957 The
Chemical Valley Mutual Fire Aid Association was formed to share fire-fighting
resources among industries.
In 1971 the two organizations joined to form the
Chemical Valley Emergency Control Organization, commonly known today as CVECO.
