Sick and angry’: Sask. First Nation responds to oil spill near Stoughton, Sask. – Global News

After an oil spill was detected north of Stoughton, Sask., the cleanup effort continued Tuesday with Tundra Energy Marketing Limited (TEML) working to recover the remaining 30,000 litres of crude oil that spilled onto the Ocean Man First Nation.

The province said it was notified of a pipeline leak Friday, and a subsequent 200,000 litres of crude oil was spilled onto agricultural land.
