Demand an Alternative to Mass Dumping the St. Lawrence!

From CBC news: "The St. Lawrence River could reek like sewage for a week, starting on Oct. 18.
That's when the City of Montreal plans to start dumping a colossal amount of untreated wastewater directly into the river from a major sewer interceptor for a seven-day stretch.

The amount dumped will be 13 cubic metres per second over seven days: that's eight million cubic metres in all, or eight billion litres — the equivalent of 2,600 Olympic-sized pools of raw sewage, from homes, industries and hospitals."

This toxic mass purge is being toted as alternative-free, despite an absence of its usage in the past 6 years. Montrealers, we know that we can do better than this. Urge your city to take action!
