#FirstNations raise alarm over impact of planned #nuclear-waste dump on #Ottawa drinking water
by Marie Wolf, Published August 9, 2023
"'This is not just a problem of the #AlgonquinNation but all people on the #OttawaRiver. Why are we trying to put a radioactive mountain adjacent to the drinking water of millions of people that are south of this NSDF site?'
"Verna McGregor, a Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg elder, plans to explain at the CNSC licensing hearing how the #Algonquins were bypassed in the establishment of the original #ChalkRiver nuclear site on their unceded territory in the 1940s, and regard the river as sacred to their culture."
