What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Thousands of supporters of Grassy Narrows First Nation marched in Toronto to call for justice for the Ojibwe community in northwestern Ontario. They called on Premier Doug Ford and Prime Minister Mark Carney to close the Dryden Paper Mill and provide compensation for the community's hardship. The mill operates upstream from Grassy Narrows and is linked to mercury contamination in the river system. Although the mill stopped using mercury in the 1970s, mercury levels downstream have not significantly decreased.
