In 2010, the Let Us Build Cully Park coalition brought together Cully residents, community-based organizations, environmental professionals and government agencies to design
and conduct a thorough examination of the site's environmental conditions.    In this examination, we looked for pollution that could be harmful to people's health with a focus on
the most vulnerable members of our community: children, the elderly and people with diseases.
