The Honourable Anita Anand, Minister of National Defence, issued the following statement today regarding ongoing environmental studies for poly- and perfluoroalkylated substances (PFAS) at Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Bagotville: "The Department of National Defence (DND) conducts regular testing of the places we train and work. Military activities can have an effect on soil and water, and we want to ensure that we minimize risk to Canadians and the environment. During routine environmental monitoring work, PFAS were found at CFB Bagotville around the former firefighter training area on the southern side of the base, as well as near hangars, buildings, and water retention basins on the northern side of the base.
