Last year, journalist Brandi Morin and cinematographer Geordie Day travelled to Fort Chipewyan on assignment for Ricochet, The Real News Network and IndigiNews. The feature and short documentary, ‘Killer Water,’ explored the impact of industrial pollution from the Alberta oil sands on the community. It recently won the Canadian Hillman Prize for investigative journalism. This month, Morin returned to the community to report on a long-awaited visit from the provincial regulator. This article is co-published with TRNN and IndigiNews.
There were over 100 people in the gathering hall in the isolated Northern Alberta hamlet of Fort Chipewyan on an evening in early March, as residents waited to hear from Alberta Energy Regulator CEO Laurie Pusher. He made the trek to the fly-in community to address the AER’s response to a massive tailings leak from an Imperial Oil site that was first disclosed in February of last year.
When he arrived he was met with scowling faces and angry outbursts, as residents expressed their frustration with the regulator’s failure to promptly notify the community of the leak.
