Amnesty International has joined a long-standing community fight to bring clean water to a settlement of Nova Scotians whose properties have wells and are next to an old garbage dump that operated for 70 years in Shelburne.
There are concerns the dump has contaminated well water and caused high rates of cancer among the approximately 50 residents who live close by.
Members of Amnesty’s Canadian office toured the area in late October to hear first-hand stories of historical and ongoing concerns.
