A hazmat team was called to Stanley Park's Second Beach on Sunday morning after park rangers found mercury in a public washroom. Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services said park rangers were opening up the washroom when they found a substance that looked like mercury on the ground. "It was a tedious process for the hazmat team to clean it up, but after an hour or so they did get it all cleaned up and the washroom was opened." He said occasionally the fire department will attend a mercury spill in industrial settings, but it's rare to see a mercury exposure in a public place. He said the City of Vancouver's park rangers are following up on the incident.
