North Bay’s drinking water might look, taste, and smell normal—but do you really know what’s swimming around in your glass?

In this week's episode of Echo Essentials, host Chris Piekarski sits down with Liza Vandermeer and Carol Hansman to detail the shocking story of PFAS contamination in Trout Lake, North Bay's main drinking water source.

From discussing how the decades-long dumping and use of firefighting foam and how it's contaminated Trout Lake and Lees Creek, this episode dives into the science, silence and the politics surrounding what’s known as the “forever chemicals” that inhabits North Bay's drinking water.

What is the cleanup plan? Why has public conversation gone quiet? Where did the buck stop and who’s really responsible?

Come for the facts: stay for the call to action. And don’t miss the public information session on November 19!
