A pedestrian walks across Front Street as the controversial Northern Pulp mill is seen across Pictou Harbour in the riding of Central Nova in Pictou, N.S. on Thursday, October 3, 2019.
Locals have waged a five-decade battle with the millâs owners to keep its emissions in check. However, the ante was raised recently when the mill began holding public meetings to disclose its plans to build a pipeline to pump "treated effluent" in the Northumberland, the body of water separating PEI from New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
