The community has banded together in an effort to stop the dumping of contaminated soil in the watershed.
Today, the community is hosting media from, not only the province but from across the country, providing helicopter tours around the site and a walking tour while dozens of demonstrators line the roadside.

 He says the most screaming urgent issue, however, is the contaminated soil site.
