Stalled: The Hamilton Harbour Cleanup (Show 10 – 2010)
Lake Ontario Waterkeeper, Living at the Barricades
March 22nd, 2010
  

 

Deep at the bottom of Hamilton Harbour, there is a creeping menace. It is a “spill in slow motion”, a toxic cocktail of coal tar, metals, and man-made chemicals. Formally known as “Randle Reef”, this slowly spreading stew of pollution has been a blight on Hamilton Harbour for a generation. Clean-up should have started in 2008, but it did not. Now residents, environmentalists, and reporters are asking questions. Mark and Krystyn speak with Lynda Lukasik and Mark Sproule-Jones on this episode of Living at the Barricades.
