Fish kill reported in Donaldston

Late yesterday afternoon, conservation officers and an Environment, Energy and Climate Action official responded to a report of dead trout in Black River. 

The impacted site is localized to a pond on the Dougan Road. Close to 30 legal samples were collected and delivered to Environment Canada for laboratory analysis. 

Provincial officials will be returning to the site today to gather further samples and continue clean up efforts. This incident is not believed to be extensive at this time.

This event remains under investigation.
