Indigenous Coalition Demands Oilsands Tailings Risk Review in Northern Alberta
A coalition of Indigenous leaders and advocates, known as Keepers of the Water, is calling for a comprehensive assessment of the risks associated with oilsands tailings in northern Alberta. The group highlights concerns over the long-term impacts on water, ecosystems, and human health due to decades of oilsands development. They are urging federal and provincial governments to conduct a basin-wide risk assessment of contamination pathways, particularly focusing on the Athabasca River and Peace-Athabasca Delta. The coalition also calls for a halt to the expansion of tailings sites and increased collaboration with affected communities on remediation efforts.
