Indigenous community hosts full moon ceremony ...

Kristen Villebrun and Wendy Bush hoped they wouldn't have to pray for Chedoke Creek, but four years after they first raised alarm about the water's condition, they were part of an Indigenous full moon ceremony to do just that. About 50 people showed up near Princess Point on the dark and frigid Monday evening for the monthly ceremony, which was particularly special as it focused on Chedoke Creek. The body of water that runs into Cootes Paradise had about 24 billion litres of sewage and storm water runoff leak into it due to a gate being left open.

Annapolis Royal issues boil water advisory

The Town of Annapolis Royal, N.S., issued a boil water advisory Friday, citing "apparent contamination" at the water utility and the possibility of unsafe water. People are being told to boil water for at least one minute before drinking or using it for any activity involving human consumption. The order started at 3 p.m. AT and remains in effect until further notice. On June 29, residents of the town had been asked to conserve water because of a failure in a section of the Granville Ferry water storage system.
