Potash Rally In Sussex Organised By Conservation Council

The Conservation Council of New Brunswick is offering its support to the 26 Penobsquis residents who are seeking compensation from the Potash Corp mine over compromised wells and damaged properties.

The Conservation Council is organizing a rally today at 9am outside the All Season's Inn in Sussex, the site of a hearing between residents and the Mining Commissioner for the next 3 days.

Tracy Glynn of the Conservation Council tells CHSJ News it has been a long battle.

She says Penobsquis has been the canary in the coal mine for the potash business in the province and wants those attending the rally or the hearings to wear a "canary" theme.
