The article reports that the government of British Columbia has taken over the operation of a pulp mill in Mackenzie, Northwest Territories to stop a chemical spill. Mill workers had to trade empty barrels with local residents for gasoline to continue operations at the facility. They alerted the government that over a million litres of chlorine could freeze and cause an environmental disaster.
