Concerns grow about grey water in Canada’s Arctic: report shows it could double
INUVIK, N.W.T. — A traditional hunter in the Northwest Territories says he used to welcome the cruise ships coming into the Beaufort Sea in Canada’s Arctic.
But Hans Lennie from Inuvik says that’s changing.
“Not as much now. Now that we’ve got all the facts,” said Lennie, who also sits on the Inuvialuit Game Council, which manages wildlife and wildlife habitat in the region.
Some of his concerns are highlighted in a new report about untreated grey water being dumped by ships passing through.
