Hamilton calls on Canada-wide shark fin ban

First Published:

Hamilton politicians have joined the fight against shark fin products.

City councillors have approved a motion that calls upon the federal government to support a Canada-wide ban on the sale of shark products.

Toronto, Brantford, Oakville and Mississauga have already banned shark fins in their communities.

Shark fins are served as a popular soup at some Chinese restaurants.
