Citing concerns over what is still unknown about fracking, the Council of Canadians calling for an all out ban in all four Atlantic Provinces.
A report by the council makes clear that enough information is not known about the key aspects of fracking like well leaks, the safety of fracking chemicals and cumulative impacts.
In letters to all four premiers, they are also saying fracking is not safe and poses risks to water sources, climate change and public health.
The council is pleased that Nova Scotia and Newfoundland and Labrador have temporary freezes on fracking but are encouraging an all out ban on the practice.
