Though The Nutcracker is more popular during the holidays, Swan Lake is one of the most iconic and enduring ballets of all time. With a famous score by Tchaikovsky and choreography by Marius Petipa, the ballet dates back exactly 150 years and tells the doomed love story of Prince Siegfried and Princess Odette, who's turned into a swan by evil sorcerer Baron Von Rothbart.

Projects that involve dumped soil near groundwater are highly risky and there are lots of provincial rules about preventing soil from getting in them, says retired water resources engineer Ian McLaurin. "Groundwater is what we drink," McLaurin, who has his own water well at his home in Durham Region and serves as volunteer advisor for upset residents, told CBC Toronto. "We pull it straight out of the ground and we drink that stuff totally untreated, and so that's why we're concerned about soil going into water," he said.
