Federal government puts $100M towards remediation of Boat Harbour
The Canadian government announced a $100-million contribution to the Boat Harbour remediation project on Thursday.
The
remediation project will attempt to restore the harbour’s lagoons,
located near Pictou Landing First Nation in Nova Scotia, to their
natural state.
Millions of litres of treated wastewater effluent
from the Northern Pulp mill are currently piped into the lagoons,
aerated and then sent into the Northumberland Strait.
