A former worker at the sewage plant operated by the Capital Regional 
District on the Saanich Peninsula is suing, contending exposure to fumes and 
toxins have made him ill.

According to the statement of claim filed with the B.C. Supreme Court this 
week, Robert Bruce is a carpenter now living on Saturna Island who worked at 
the Saanich Peninsula Wastewater Treatment Plant on Bazan Bay Road from 2000 
to 2005.

Bruce alleges in his statement of claim that he now suffers from a number of 
health complaints as a result of exposure to hazards at the plant.

Bruce’s lawyer, Rory Morahan, said he isadvising his client not to make any 
comments at this time.

No statement of defence has been filed yet with the court.

Kelly Daniels, CRD chief administrative officer, said the CRD is consulting 
with its own lawyer and there is no other comment
