Canada: Hundreds Of Dead Fish Found In Red Hill Creek, Ontario

“Hundreds of dead fish have been found in the Red Hill Creek.

The fish – some floating and others stuck in the sludgy weeds on the bottom of the creek bed – were noticed by a nearby resident walking her dog this morning.

‘There’s usually live fish all over,’ said Dianne Stuart, who made the discovery near King Street East. ‘There’ll always be the odd dead thing – and that’s life. But nothing like that.’

Stuart, who lives nearby on Glennie Avenue, said she walks her German Shepherd cross, Molly, in the Red Hill Valley several times a week. They were at the creek Sunday, and didn’t notice any dead fish at that time.

This afternoon, live fish were few and far between, while dead ones littered the water flowing from Queenston Road to King Street East. There were no strange substances visible in the water, and no unusual smells.

It’s still unclear what’s behind the incident. Keep watching thespec.com for updates.” Source – The Spec.
