'The right thing to do': Shelburne looking to officially decommission landfill that's been the subject of environmental racism claims

A first-generation landfill that operated from 1946 to 1996 in the Town of Shelburne’s south end – that has also been the subject of environmental racism claims – may finally be officially decommissioned. The Town of Shelburne has announced it has submitted a funding application to the Government of Canada’s Investing in Canada Infrastructure Program (ICIP) to support efforts to ensure the first-generation landfill conforms to Nova Scotia Environment and Climate Change (NSECC) requirements.
