Parks Canada wants to release flea beetles in Grasslands National Park to eat leafy spurge, an invasive weed that's hard to kill with herbicides. The beetles only eat this one plant species. If it works, native prairie plants could recover and...
Why This Matters: This is a specialized conservation project in a remote Saskatchewan park. If you're passionate about prairie ecosystems or concerned about introducing new species to control invasive plants, this matters. For most Canadians, it's a technical park management decision.

Greenergy Fuels Canada wants to restart an old fuel storage facility at the Port of Belledune in northern New Brunswick. The terminal would receive gasoline and diesel by ship—about 10 cargoes a year—and distribute it by rail and truck to local...
Why This Matters: Live near Belledune? This project could bring jobs and reduce fuel truck traffic through your community. But it also means more ships, rail cars, and a large fuel operation in your backyard. If you rely on local roads or worry about spills, you'll want to know the details.

The government found that two chemicals used in lubricant and cleaner sprays—hydrogenated didecene and HTTD—are toxic under environmental law. They're proposing to restrict these substances in consumer spray products like lubricants and...
Why This Matters: Use spray lubricants around the house? These chemicals are in products you might have in your garage or workshop. The government says they're toxic and wants to limit what manufacturers can put in consumer sprays. If you work with these products regularly, this could change what's on store shelves.

Why This Matters: This project supports a First Nation community recovering from a devastating wildfire. Reliable clean water is essential as families return and rebuild their homes. The current system simply can't keep up with the community's needs.
