The Town of Petrolia launched operations at its new $21 million wastewater facility with a ribbon-cutting ceremony attended by local dignitaries on May 7.

"This is the town's largest infrastructure project, ever," said McCharles. "The old plant was at its capacity and this represents a big step forward." McCharles said the project also garnered the largest amount of grant money Petrolia has ever received from the federal and provincial governments.

With less than a month before Ontarians go to the polls, Water Wells First has received a written commitment from the leaders of four political parties — The Progressive Conservatives, the New Democrats, the Green Party and the Trillium Party — a health hazard investigation will be conducted regarding black shale particles that have clogged water wells in the Chatham and Dover Township areas where wind turbines operate.

Retired miners who previously reported potential health effects from exposure to aluminum mine dust were recently invited to a follow-up session at the Ramada Inn in Timmins.
"Whether it did harm or not, these guys were subjected against their will to a public-health experiment and I think in many ways, it was industrial genocide when you look at the harm these workers experienced," said Janice Martell, the founder of the McIntyre Powder Project who helped to co-ordinate an intake clinic with the Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers in Timmins two years ago.
