Description
A crowd of protesters, including both adults and children, stand closely together outside a building under a covered walkway. They are holding numerous handmade signs with messages opposing toxic waste dumping and landfill site number 6, such as “Protect My Future Stop CECOS #6,” “NO! Landfill #6 No More Chemicals,” and “STOP CECOS.” Several signs appeal directly to government officials and reference the community of Niagara.
