Officials investigating chemical spill in Burlington creek

Burlington residents are being urged to avoid Sheldon Creek at Sherwood Forest Park after an unknown chemical spilled into the water.

Officials from the Ministry of the Environment were called to the scene Thursday afternoon to try and determine what substance seeped into the waterway. Crews are also treating the water and surrounding embankments.

The creek has been cordoned off between John Lucas Drive — where the spill is believed to have originated — and Sherwood Forest Park.

City officials are also urging residents to keep their pets away from the area.
