Imperial Oil (Canadian Exxon), the Alberta Energy Regulator, and Environment and Climate Change Canada are scheduled to appear at ENVI on April 20th and 24th to address the disaster.
The tar sands' tailings “ponds” now contain over 1.4 trillion litres of waste, covering an area more than 2.6 times the size of Vancouver. It's time for accountability and regulatory action to prevent further harm to communities and the environment.
