Samson visits Sydney's toxic neighbourhood

SYDNEY (CP) - Nova Scotia's new environment minister paid a surprise visit to a neighbourhood that residents say is contaminated.

Michel Samson toured Frederick Street which some have called toxic because of its proximity to coke ovens.

Juanita McKenzie, spokesman for the residents, said the minister was receptive to their concerns.

Some residents want the government to pay for their relocation, but Samson said it's hard to come to any conclusion about moving them while a number of studies are underway.
