The James Smith Cree Nation, whose waters were contaminated by the Husky Energy oil spill last summer, is seeking legal counsel in anticipation of a lawsuit.
The Government of Saskatchewan still hasn't released the results of a Husky Energy spill last summer, and already, the Calgary-based energy company has done it again.
So far, 174,000 litres of oil have been recovered and 185 cubic metres of contaminated soil removed from the spill in southeastern Saskatchewan, the provincial government said.
Saskatchewan is proposing tougher rules for pipelines following an oil spill into the North Saskatchewan River that jeopardized the drinking water of thousands of people.
Husky has now admitted that "ground movement" is to blame for its disastrous pipeline spill. That may sound out of Husky's control, but could the spill still have been prevented?
Husky Energy says ground movement is the reason a section of its pipeline burst in late July, leaking more than 220,000 litres of crude oil into the North Saskatchewan River.
After dumping more than 200,000 litres of chemicals into the North Saskatchewan River, Husky Energy has reimbursed the James Smith Cree Nation for clean up efforts.
The James Smith Cree Nation in eastern Saskatchewan has emptied its coffers to pay for cleanup on its territory after the Husky Energy oil spill. It says the company hasn't provided any assistance.
