Research Quest

This week we were also asked to find out the best source for the Environmental Racism and Environmental Justice taking place in Lincolnville, Nova Scotia.  After doing a simple search, I came across several documents that had mention the issue of this issue, a lot of which were taken place in 2006 and the years to follow.  One of the most recent articles I found was that of the Halifax Media Co-op.  This article talks about how the Town of Lincolnville had had a productive meeting with the Municipality of Guysborough, however they had agreed to have a second meeting to follow.  It was a year after the meeting was said to be organized, and there was yet a second meeting.  This caused tension and a protest in Lincolnville.  The whole reason for this conflict is the landfills that are situated in this town, which are cause plenty of problems, especially environmental issues.  I question that there isn't much new information on this issue since May 2011, has the problem had any success or does it still prissiest?
