"Thousands of fish are dead after contaminated run-off from a burning pesticide plant flowed into Spencer Creek." Reported by the Hamilton Spectator.
I particularly like this quote -
A blog on the issues of life in Burlington, Ontario. Environmental, financial, sustainable development, family life and great things to do in GTA west are fair game for the writer of this blog.
"Mimi Gilbert, regional communications adviser for the Ministry of the Environment, said inspectors started finding dead fish about one kilometre downstream from the plant. The kill included a variety of species and fish of all ages.
Gilbert said all the run-off from the fire site has now been contained and the spill won't affect drinking water."
Yeah right - I think I will drink wine for the next month or so.
