Around 40 people, some carrying a banner reading “Save Our River,” have gathered at the foot of the Mercier Bridge to protest the dumping of eight billion litres of untreated wastewater into the St. Lawrence River.
The City of Montreal is to begin the release of raw sewage around midnight after the controversial plan received the go-ahead from Environment Canada.
