Mercury Justice Now: Updates from Grassy Narrows
November 06, 2017
Join Judy Da Silva, Lee Maracle, Vanessa Gray, and other special guests in Toronto to hear updates from Grassy Narrows and learn more about their campaign for mercury justice. After a decades-long campaign by Grassy Narrows activists, the Ontario government has set aside $85 million to clean up the English-Wabigoon river system, which was contaminated with 9 tonnes of mercury in the 1960s by a paper mill. Yet at this time, little has been done for the people of Grassy Narrows who have experienced decades of mercury poisoning.
