Why did the Calgary Health Authority contact the Alberta Government to meet and tour the site?
In the spring of 2003, the Calgary Health Authority contacted Alberta Culture and Community Spirit after seeing media reports that contaminants on the site were a public health hazard. The Calgary Health Authority requested copies of all the recently completed environmental reports that identified health hazards. After reviewing the information provided, the Calgary Health Authority identified a particular concern about mercury and requested a tour of the site to get a better understanding of how much exposure visitors would have to mercury. Although visitors were not exposed to excessive amounts of mercury, the Calgary Health Authority recommended that pregnant women and children under 6 years of age be excluded from visiting the site. Alberta Culture and Community Spirit immediately complied with that request.
