The Canadian oilsands, or ‘tarsands’, industry primarily located in northern Alberta has created vast toxic tailings ponds that present severe health, environmental, and justice challenges. The toxic wastewater left over from tarsands production is stored in massive lakes, called tailings ‘ponds’. Arsenic, benzene, lead, mercury and air pollution are just some of the toxic chemicals found in tailings at rates higher than federal and provincial guidelines.
