Nearly two months after multiple species of fish inexplicably died in the Ausable River near Port Franks, Ont., families who live along the waterway say they're still waiting on answers from the provincial government on what triggered the mysterious deaths in the first place.

Jennifer Powell, a PhD student from University of Toronto's who studies endangered fish in the Port Franks area said she's been emailing the Ontario Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) and Ministry of Natural Resources (MNRF) since the fish kill was first detected in July, hoping the government would provide clarity.
