The Tar Sands is the largest industrial project on the planet. Downstream is
the First Nations community of Fort Chipewyan, where residents have
experienced worrisome health abnormalities.

Two First Nations leaders from Fort Chipewyan are coming to Ottawa to tell
their story. Hear first-hand accounts of health issues, and about the wider
environmental impact of the Tar Sands, Canada's fastest growing source of
greenhouse gas emissions.
