TORONTO—Ontario must do more to address pollution affecting Indigenous communities, the province’s environmental watchdog says in a report that sharply criticized the government for long ignoring the issue.
Environmental Commissioner Dianne Saxe said the province has turned a blind eye to pollution that’s adversely affecting Indigenous communities like the Grassy Narrows and Wabaseemoong First Nations northwest of Dryden, Ont., and the Aamjiwnaang First Nation in Sarnia, Ont.
