Thank god, a town hall about actual pollution in the river right there in Okotoks!
Oh wait… it’s not about the bacteria, fertilizer runoff, and livestock waste that regularly flow into the Sheep River, which cuts right through town. It’s not about the agriculture-driven nutrient exceedances, the fecal coliform levels that surpass Alberta’s own guidelines, or the fact that you probably shouldn’t drink from that river without boiling it first.
Nope. It’s a town hall about a coal project over 100 km away, in a different watershed, where the water will be captured, treated, tested, and released into a river (the Oldman) that already receives runoff from cattle operations, industry, and human sewage.
Good thing we’re focused on hypothetical risks, not the actual pollution right under our noses. Wouldn’t want to risk upsetting anyone too close to home.
Just remember the meeting starts at 5:00 PM doors open at 4:30....be there or be square.
