RELEASE: Contamination questions on two hazardous sites: Swan Hills and Faust's Toxic Park

First Nations, residents, businesses, and municipalities want to know: does contamination from the Swan Hills (hazardous waste) Treatment Centre (SHTC) reach us around the Lesser Slave Lake area? Keepers of the Athabasca successfully challenged the Alberta Environment Approval for this facility in 2015. Now, almost three years and two meetings later, Keepers of the Athabasca participated in removing lake sediment core samples from Lesser Slave Lake, near the mouth of the Swan River on March 12, 2018, assisted by a guide from Swan River First Nation, and environmental consultant Theo Charette for SUEZ.
