Environmental experts predicted long-term contamination of the land and sea around Burnaby, B.C., as the cleanup continued Wednesday after almost 240,000 litres of crude oil were spilled into Inlet Drive and Burrard Inlet Tuesday.
People who live near the massive oil spill complained they've been given little information about their top priority — their health — and some residents fear rain in the forecast will make matters worse.
Residents attended a town hall meeting held by the city Wednesday night. Also in attendance were government officials, police and representatives of Kinder Morgan, owner of the ruptured pipeline.
The pipeline company told residents at the meeting that it won't finish assessing damaged homes until the weekend.
