Conor talks with Ole Hendrickson, the Chair of Sierra Club Canada’s Conservation Committee and a columnist among many other roles, about the ongoing fight to to defend the Kichi Sibi / Ottawa River and our watershed from a nuclear waste megadump. 

Ole along with the Concerned Citizens of Renfrew County and Area, Kebaowek First Nation, Sierra Club Canada and the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility took Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) to court and WON on this matter... but CNL has appealed.

And so on November 12th as CNL’s appeal was heard, they held a rally outside.

After the interview with Ole we’ll be playing some audio from the rally of a speech by Justin Roy, a Councillor at Kebaowek First Nation. This audio was kindly provided to us by Peter Stockdale who took the recording.
