A fish caught in Lake Athabasca by Robert Grandjamber. Robert lives in Fort Chipewyan, a First Nation community downstream of the tar sands industry. The Alberta tar sands in Canada is the world's largest industrial project and the most environmentally destructive. Many of the residents of Fort Chipewyan have died of cancer. Fish caught in the lake recently have been found with tumours and lesions, and many people are now scared to eat this traditional food source. The fish processing plant in Fort Chipewyan has been closed down due to the concerns.
