Yarmouth Airport PFAS Contamination
Fells, Nickerson & Hilton v. Attorney General of Canada
Nova Scotia Supreme Court File: Hfx No. 544898
A proposed class proceeding has been filed on behalf of property owners in an area next to the Yarmouth Airport who have learned their properties are contaminated by PFAS. Transport Canada, the former owner of the Airport, used PFAS-containing fire fighting foam at the fire-fighting training area at the Airport before it was sold in 1997. In 2024, property owners began to be notified about the PFAS contamination. It is alleged that there has been a loss of value of the properties as a result of the contamination.
