Five billion litres of untreated wastewater passed into the St. Lawrence River beginning on Remembrance Day 2015. Politicians, scientists, environmental groups, and international voices shared their support or protest with both intensity and fury. Join us 100 days later for this free panel discussion as we explore the after-thoughts and after-effects, both temporary and lasting, environmental and social.
