Toxic Legacies Project

Running from 2012-2015, the Toxic Legacies Project was a response to the Canadian government’s Giant Mine Remediation Project to freeze arsenic underground in perpetuity, a project that has recently undergone an extensive environmental assessment. As a “Partnership Development” project (funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council [SSHRC]), we also aimed to communicate our research results in a way that will engage the community of Yellowknife and the broader concerned public.
