"An embattled first nations community situated in the heart of Ontario's Chemical Valley will announce a landmark lawsuit Monday morning targeting the province's role in long-standing health problems throughout the town and neighbouring city of Sarnia.
Residents of the Aamjiwnaang First Nation will join lawyers and scientists from Ecojustice – formerly the Sierra Legal Defence Fund – in launching the legal action at Queen's Park.
Ecojustice is spearheading the suit which relates to a decades-long battle to convince the province that the cumulative emissions of 67 industrial facilities is to blame for the high rate of several medical conditions in the region."
