Sewage Spill by Private Institution – Gwaing River Now Safe

Earlier this month, George Municipality reported a suspected sewage discharge into the Gwaing River Mouth by a private institution.

Following extensive testing by the Scientific Services Department, we are pleased to confirm that the Gwaing River Mouth and adjacent sea area are now safe for public use, including swimming and fishing.

The Municipality will continue to monitor the area as part of our commitment to public health and environmental protection.
