Montreal's Terry Fox elementary school inadvertently released raw sewage into the Prairies River for years, with fecal coliform levels reaching 60 times the pollution threshold.
Montreal elementary school Terry Fox inadvertently flushed raw sewage into a nearby river for years. Despite identifying the problem in 2021, the city took no action until 2022. Two bathrooms at the school incorrectly drained into a storm sewer instead of a sanitary sewer, causing highly contaminated water at one spot along the Prairies River. The raw sewage contributed to fecal coliform counts reaching 60 times higher than the city's pollution threshold near a public park.
