North Bay drinking water contaminated with PFAS
The city of North Bay, Ontario, has had elevated levels of PFAS – often called "forever chemicals" – detected in its water supply since 2016. These contaminants were found in the area of the city’s airport, along Lee Creek, and in Trout Lake, impacting the municipal drinking water. A municipal councillor warns that addressing this long-term contamination will require significant decisions and expense from the next city council.
