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.
The Township of Seguin is notifying residents that all water refilling stations are open for those who need them. On Dec. 26, the township posted on its Facebook page that those without power may be without water and drinking water refill stations at Humphrey Community Centre, Christie Community Centre, Foley Community Centre or Rosseau Community Centre were open.
