A group of people effected by the chemical defoliation spray program at CFB Gagetown will get together in Fredericton tonight to tell their stories. The conversations will focus on the history of the base, the deadly poisons that were sprayed there, who were affected and the health problems that still plague many to this day. Vice President of the Agent Orange Association Art Connelly tells CHSJ News, emotions are sure to be running high.
Time will also be set aside to discuss possibilities for the future. Many are still putting together applications for compensation with the deadline coming up on Tuesday. Tonight's session is scheduled to get started at six at the KC Irving Theater on Regent Street South.
