The Walkerton tragedy, an E.coli outbreak that resulted in seven deaths and 2,300 people sick, was unprecedented in Canada. To prepare for a meeting with the utilities commission, the health unit gathers data about the outbreak and narrows down the likely date of transmission of E.coli. Meanwhile, the Ministry of the Environment received the results of tests on collected samples of water from the area, and the results clearly show that the water is contaminated. This is a supplement to “We Have a Terrible Tragedy Here” (A), (B) and (C).
