Are you ready to swim in the Halifax harbour?

Word has it that the beach at the Dingle and Black Rock are now safe to swim in as long as it doesn’t rain to much. Apparently if too much rain collects in the water treatment facilities the filtration system will not function for the overload. That being said it’s heating up in Halifax and the water is now safe to swim in!

Sydney Tar Pond

Example of a tar pond credit: Krista76

The Sydney tar pond might be getting a bit more attention in the near future. Residence surrounding the area have been given permission by the Supreme Court to file a class action suit against the government.The problem with this class action suit is that not everyone that was affected by the tar ponds will be able to participate in the suit.

Hundreds of thousands of tones of raw sewage and other abysmal chemicals make up the soup that is the sydney tar ponds. Hopefully something will come of this class action suit! Residence in the area have dealt with this problem for far too long.

How will the BP oil spill affect the Maritimes?

Most, if not all of you have heard your fair share of news related to the BP oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico. However you may not know how this will effect you in the Maritimes. The problem is that no one knows the extent of impact the oil spill will have on the Maritimes.

What needs to happen is a shift in oil dependency! There are alternative form of energy collection that would not have such high risks associated with it. It’s time for the Maritimes and the rest of Canada to put a significant amount of money behind alternative energy.
