Full Steam Ahead For Harbour Cleanup
Nov, 08 2007 - 5:10 PM
HAMILTON (AM900 CHML) - The President and CEO of the Hamilton Port Authority says it is a "huge" day for the city.
Keith Robson notes they've working for some time, to get the federal government to commit its one-third share toward the 90-million dollar clean-up of Randle Reef.
He adds that Friday's expected announcement by federal Environment Minister John Baird should allow for the capping of toxic sediment to begin early in 2009 at Hamilton Harbour's pollution hotspot.
Robson says the end results will include a clean harbour and a better image for Hamilton.
The province has already committed its 30 million dollar share towards the project. The other third will be covered by the city and other local sources.
Baird will make his announcement during an afternoon visit to the Royal Hamilton Yacht Club.
