GRCA staff have been advised by the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) that the contaminants from the jet fuel spill on Sunday have migrated further downstream in Mill Creek than originally understood. As a precaution, ice fishing will not be offered this season until the impact of the fuel spill on the reservoir is determined.
The lead agency in the event of a spill is the Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) under the Environmental Protection Act. If you have concerns relating to the spill, please contact the MECP Guelph District Office at 1-800-265-8658.
