Grassy Narrows Moves Protests To Front Door

Protesters from the Grassy Narrows First Nation descended on Premier Kathleen Wynne’s Toronto home on Sunday to draw attention to mercury levels on the Kenora area reserve.
But Wynne’s neighbours were the only ones who heard the demonstrators because the premier’s aides say she was out of town for the weekend.
Water around Grassy Narrows has been contaminated with mercury since the Dryden Mill poured an estimated 10 tonnes of neuro-toxins into the Wabigoon-English River system between 1962 and 1970.
While the protesters claimed Wynne hasn’t honoured a promise to address the issue, Wynne’s office says progress is being made on the file.
