A major concern the Manitoba Green Party is shedding some light on, is contaminated water and wells.
Last week, Ian Brown and Kate Storey took samples of contaminated water from local wells, to both Sopuck and Michaleski’s office.
Brown, CEO for the Green Party, Dauphin – Neepawa Riding, talks about the water quality in the area:
“I don’t think there is a well in our area, there isn’t one that I know of where people actually use the water anymore. The reason for that is because of the materials that are filtering down through what is left of the soil. Regenerative farming creates new soil and filters out all of the bad stuff that is put on the soils that wind up now filtering through into that well water.”
They are calling on the province to heed to the Defend The Water campaign and to establish regenerative farming practices.
