‘I get choked up thinking about it': Calgarian wins $1M on Lotto 6-49

Calgarian Tom Dimitroff says his wife thought he was lying when he told her they won $1 million on Lotto 6-49. Dimitroff says he was 'pretty pleased' when he checked his numbers online and realized he'd won. 'My wife told me she thought I was full of s**t until I showed her the ticket,' he said. Dimitroff says he already knows what to do with his windfall. 'I have a granddaughter with special needs,' he said. 'I'm going to be able to pay for some support for her and set her up with housing.' 'It's wonderful to tell my family that I can take care of them,' he continued. 'I get choked up thinking about it.' Dimitroff purchased his winning Lotto 6-49 ticket at the Petro Canada on Seton Crescent S.E. He won his prize on the July 12 Gold Ball draw with selection 21035885-01, a white ball.

160-year-old N.S. gold mine to undergo $33M remediation

A 160-year-old former gold mine in Nova Scotia will revert to its prior state as a productive habitat following a $33.4 million remediation effort by the federal and provincial governments. The Montague Mines in the rural community of Montague Gold Mines, is contaminated with mercury and arsenic, according to a news release from the Department of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities. The contamination is mostly found in a 363-acre area where mine tailings were disposed. The federal government is spending $15 million on the cleanup project while the Nova Scotia government is pitching in $18,480,000. The cleanup work will involve excavating contaminated soils up to a depth of two metres and placing that soil in impermeable containment cells on site. Clean backfill will replace the removed soil and a treatment system will collect any leachate from the containment cells. 'It is crucial that we uphold Canada's world-leading environmental standards by addressing the contamination on the Montague Mines site,' said Braedon Clark, MP for Sackville-Bedford-Preston, in the release. 'This project will promote long-term environmental sustainability on both the site of the former mine, and downstream.' The Montague Mines were in operation from 1865 to 1940.
