Chedoke Creek dredging put on hold

First Published:

The clean-up of Chedoke Creek in Hamilton has been put on hold.

Dredging was supposed to start next week to remove 22,000 tons of sludge after a lengthy and long sewage spill.

As the city went to move in its equipment, members of the Haudenosaunee Development Institute (HDI) parked a car on the bridge leading into the preparation site. The members asked for a pause to the project.

The members say their Confederacy Chiefs Council asserts treaty rights in Hamilton and that they weren’t consulted on the clean-up.

The city was ordered by the province to clean-up Chedoke Creek and they have now asked the province for guidance on what to do next.
