Over 15 months ago, Imperial Oil Ltd.’s Kearl Mine Tailings Ponds were reported to have leaked over 5.3 million of litres of toxic oil into the Athabasca watershed. Imperial, along with the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) failed to notify impacted Indigenous communities for over 9 months after the leak was discovered.
