Co-hosted with Keepers of the Water, this webinar will dive into the alarming findings of our recent report1, which maps decades of unbridled expansion of the oil industry’s tailings “ponds” and dispels the claim of “responsible development” the industry is making.

Environmental Defence’s Alienor Rougout will be joined by our host Jesse Cardinal, executive director of Keepers of the Water and local Kikino Métis, and by panelists Jean L’Hommecourt, co-chair of Keepers of the Water and a local Denesuline woman from Fort McKay and Daniel T’seiele, Outreach Manager for Keepers of the Water and K’asho Got’ine Dene from Radili Ko.

Jean will speak about her personal experience living downstream of the oil sands, allowing us to understand the harm the industry has already caused, while Jesse and Daniel will discuss the dangers of the industry’s current attempt to release the tailings’ toxic waste into the Athabasca River.
