A protest is expected outside Queen's Park today by activists demanding more be done to deal with mercury poisoning at a FirstNations reserve in northwestern Ontario.
A study released yesterday suggests the health effects of mercury poisoning at Grassy Narrows are worse now than in the 1970's.
Activists are calling for permanent mercury monitoring through an environmental centre in the community and tougher federal mercury guidelines.
The study says mercury dumped into the Wabigoon River between 1962 and 1970 continued harming area residents as recently as 2004.
