Created in the fall of 1996, the JAG is an innovative community-driven process - a group of individuals working together with the goal of remediating one of Canada's most toxic sites - the Muggah Creek Watershed. First conceived to find a solution to the Sydney Tar Ponds. JAG has evolved and broadened its mandate to include the former Coke Oven site, the Tar Ponds, and impacts of the municipal landfill - all part of the Muggah Creek Watershed area. JAG is comprised of local residents, business people, representatives, and youth. 2, record 3, English, - Joint%20Action%20Group
