The Love Canal region of Niagara Falls is once again receiving scrutiny.

Students of the former 93rd Street School have begun to compare notes on a variety of health issues that have arisen amongst them. The school was located in the Love Canal Emergency Declaration Area and was razed in the 1970's.

A community meeting is being scheduled for Tuesday evening at the Evening Star Concert Hall.

Anyone who feels that they have been affected by exposure to chemicals near the school are welcome to attend.
