Canada News: Star Exclusive: Agent Orange “soaked” Ontario teens - thestar.com: "Agent Orange may have been employed earlier than 1964 in Northern Ontario but the Star was told access to additional records is guarded by privacy legislation. The ministry said it does not have centralized spraying records prior to 1977 and suggested the newspaper “follow the procedures set up in the freedom of information act” to get a “complete picture of the data.”
The Star’s investigation exposes the first widespread use of these chemicals in Canada outside of a military spraying operation.
The Ministry of Natural Resources said it is working with the ministries of Health, Labour and Environment “to ensure this matter is thoroughly investigated and that worker health and safety is protected.”
The only other case on record of Agent Orange and other toxic defoliants being used en masse in Canada occurred in New Brunswick."
