About this listen
On August 4, 2014, the Mount Polley mine's tailings storage facility failed, discharging 25 million cubic meters of toxic sludge into Polley Lake, Hazeltine Creek, and Quesnel Lake.
This episode features an interview with Douglas Watt, a resident of Likely, a community close to Quenel Lake. We talk about the essay Doug wrote for the academic journal BC Studies, reflecting on the impact of the disaster and the unfulfilled promises from politicians and industry that followed the disaster.
You can read Doug's essay here: "Promises, Promises: The Views of a Quesnel Lake Resident Ten Years after the 2014 Mount Polley Mine Disaster"
