River Athabasca in Alberta
Ground fog over the river Athabasca during early morning, north of Fort McMurray.
The tar sand industry has brought wealth and an economic boom to the region but also created an environmental disaster downstream from the Athabasca river, polluting the lakes where water and fish are contaminated. The Mikisew, Cree, Dene and other smaller First Nations communities are seeing their natural habitat destroyed and are largely powerless to stop or slow down the rapid expansion of the oil sands development, Canada's number one economic driver.
