near Grassy Narrows: Star Investigation

The environment minister in 1984 recommended a plan to “cover the mercury sediments” near Grassy Narrows, a suggestion the provincial government of the day did not act on. More than 30 years later, the fish that feed the community are still contaminated.


A spokesperson for the environment ministry told the Star recently the ministry cannot comment on the decisions a provincial executive made in the 1980s.
