Standing up for the fish

The City of Iqaluit will return to court on April 8 to face half a dozen Fisheries Act violations from the spring and summer of 2001. The Crown alleges the city allowed sewage to spill from two lift stations into Koojesse Inlet between April and July last year. Fish and shellfish inhabit the waters of Koojesse Inlet.

Matthew Hough, director of engineering and former director of public works, appeared on behalf of the city on Feb. 3.

Chris Thompson, a Yellowknife lawyer, will represent the city. Vancouver lawyer John Cliffe will act as Crown counsel.
