Macassa Bay - 'Float-In' Protest In Hamilton
Channel: HamiltonSeen
Date: 2015-11-15

Hamilton Harbour was once known as Macassa Bay...which was the Chonnonton word for "shining waters".

Two women are protesting in Hamilton's Harbour until action is taken to clean our shores.

Wendy Bush and Kristen Villebrum took to the water on a raft last night after more than two weeks of trying to find a means by which our shoreline could be cleaned and made safe. Significant amounts of biohazardous waste line the shores of the bay...upon inspecting we immediately found dozens of tampon applicators and a syringe within the first few feet of shoreline we inspected. This is not just trash that has been disposed of in the wrong place. This is the result of significant amounts of sewage being dumped directly into the bay.
