Air quality investigators are hunting for the source of a pungent stench that's been hanging over the neighbourhood of Easthill Park and near the Barnet Highway in Port Moody for nearly a week. The nasty smell — or smells — have prompted more than 120 complaints and a lot of consternation about the origin of the mysterious stink. There's some suspicion that a bad smell is coming from rotting algae after an algae bloom. This is low tide at Rocky Point Park pier in Port Moody in July 2020. Some Port Moody residents say they've encountered the malodorous smell along the Shoreline Trail, others as far away as Westhill and the north part of Port Moody and Orchard Park.
