PORT HOPE, ONTARIO: A Case Study in Radioactive Risk
Protect Our Waterways/No Nuclear Waste has announced a webinar on Wed., March 17, at 7:30pm Eastern, featuring Faye More, Chair, Port Hope Community Health Concerns, and Theresa McClenaghan, Senior Counsel and Executive Director, Canadian Environmental Law Association. It will look at Port Hope, east of Toronto on the Lake Ontario shore, its legacy of radioactive wastes the community is burdened with, and community concerns, particularly in light of a recent proposal to relax environmental cleanup criteria that many felt were already too lax. Beyond Nuclear was featured on a recent previous webinar in this series, dedicated to fending off a national high-level radioactive waste dump targeted at South Bruce, Ontario, near the Lake Huron shore.
