(Shane Magee/CBC - image credit)A newly released report by New Brunswick Public Health says Organigram had no regular cleaning of cooling towers that were the source of a 2019 legionnaires' disease outbreak in Moncton. It says the company's facility had two new cooling towers in 2019 that didn't have a chemical treatment system activated. Cooling towers are mechanical equipment that can be part of a building's heating and cooling system. The Public Health report states "while there were identified deficiencies in their practices, it is not believed that any oversight was intentional." Shane Magee/CBCLéger also told reporters in 2019 he'd recommend a cooling tower registry as part of a report examining the outbreak.
