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 lawsuit states that they checked into the beachside US$800 per night hotel without incident. When they realized they ran out of water on November 18, they called the front desk, and an employee delivered five bottles of water. Jane went to bed and reached for a bottle of water in the middle of the night. After taking a sip, she knew something was wrong and notified hotel security and management. She initially assumed it was a chemical contamination before suspecting it was semen.
