When Canadians think about environmental sustainability, what city comes to mind? London, Ontario…probably not. But it could be. This series looks at London’s environmental and ecological health, and asks just how green and resilient the “Forest City” is. In each episode, host Molly Miksa talks to local experts in a given area, asking a specific question to gauge London’s level of success in its pursuit of resiliency and a green future. A production of the London Environmental Network.

The River - Part 1

In the first of two episodes on Deshkan Ziibi, or the Thames River (which runs through the city of London) we look at the river’s health and the goal of being able to swim in, fish from and drink from the river safely.

With our guests, we consider the names of the river, it’s geography and health over time, and the current and future challenge of climate change. We talk about the sewage system and the problem of combined sewers and overflow. And we ask whose responsibility it is to keep the water clean, and who bears the brunt when it’s not.

Guests include: Emma Young and Brandon Graham from the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation’s Treaty, Lands and Environment team, Pat Donnelly from the City of London, and Karen Maaskant from the Upper Thames Valley Conservation Authority.
