A life cut short in Fort McMurray raises questions about cancer rates near oil sands
Syncrude executive Barbara Jewers' tragic death may be linked to years of oil sands exposure, say her doctor and surviving partner. But they can't prove it. It would take an independent government study to dispel or prove fears that oil sands toxins are responsible for the unusually high incidence of a rare form of cancer showing up in the Wood Buffalo Municipality, at the heart of the largest industrial project in the world. Why hasn't such a study been done?

A targeted study on cancer rates in Wood Buffalo Municipality which includes Fort Chipeywan, Fort McMurray and Fort McKay, has never taken place. This is despite the fact that in 2009, the Alberta Cancer Board, after a review of cancer numbers in Fort Chipeywan, recommended further investigation for that community. The Alberta Government has never commented on the overall health impacts on Wood Buffalo Municipality from the tar sands.
In March, however, the Alberta government released a report of its cancer numbers in Fort Chipewyan, downstream of the tar sands, notorious for the fish with two mouths that showed up in Lake Athabasca in 2008 to the despair of the community some years ago.
