ONTARIO CANADA: Falls' Agent Orange answers will come from provincial panel: Hydro One

Falls' Agent Orange answers will come from provincial panel: Hydro One

Niagara Falls residents who want to know if hydro workers sprayed Agent Orange on the city's power-line corridors will be able to get answers from the provincial panel when it releases its findings, said a Hydro One spokesman.

Teal said that she as well as at least five other people from her former neighbourhood have been diagnosed with cancer over the years. Her mother also died at 54 of multiple myeloma.

"I've been saying all along, for me living under the power lines, that's why the whole neighbourhood had cancer," Teal said.

Diodati and other councilors want to know if there's a link between the toxic herbicide and higher rates of certain cancers in Niagara.
