"Toxic Overflow" (Part 1) [1]

"The contamination of many First Nations by unregulated landfills and dumps is a dirty story that has yet to be fully told. Aside from the mess you can see – and smell – the risk of groundwater pollution is probably the most severe environmental impact from these waste sites. Add an improperly engineered garbage dump and the results are more than toxic."

Cheryl McKenzie hosts an APTN Investigates story on Aboriginal Peoples Television Network aired as part one of a series September 20, 2010. [2]
