Abstract
- This article discusses the efforts of Canadian neighborhoods to clean up toxic waste and pollution.Known as brownfields, they are typically littered with abandoned buildings, all sorts of rubbish, leaking tanks and rusting drums of "could be anything." Some brownfields are so far gone--like the infamous tar ponds in Sydney, N.S., and the uranium mine tailings by Lake Athabasca in Saskatchewan--that no authority wants to touch them.
