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.
A decision was made in the New York State Supreme Court Wednesday, regarding the West Canada Creek Village Mobile Home Park. Water Service was shut off for the mobile home park, Sept. 30 when a contract between the park and campground expired. According to the State Supreme Court, the campground must continue to provide water to the residents of the mobile home park until at least Nov. 30. That’s when the next court date has been set.
