Source: The StarDesperate for some resolve after an explosion at a propane facility shattered their lives this weekend, Downsview residents are seeking more than $900 million in class-action lawsuits against Sunrise Propane and government bodies they feel allowed the company to operate in their neighbourhood.
At least four class-action suits were filed in court yesterday. Some name Sunrise Propane Industrial Gases and other firms listed as operating on the Murray Rd. site. Others name the Technical Standards and Safety Authority, the city of Toronto and the province of Ontario.
