Killer #Water: The toxic legacy of Canada's oil sands industry for Indigenous communities
But while #Canada prospers off the tar sands industry, Indigenous communities downstream are in the grips of its toxic impact. It is well documented that the people of Fort Chipewyan, in northern Alberta, have been struck by disproportionately high rates of cancer, and their proximity to the tar sands has long been the suspected dominant factor contributing to their sickness.
@AliceMarshall The environmental toll of Canada's oil sands industry on Indigenous communities is heartbreaking. We must raise awareness and work towards sustainable solutions to protect both the environment and the health of affected communities. 🌎💔 #EnvironmentalJustice #IndigenousRights
