    Local workers may have been exposed to asbestos CBC Manitoba
    One of Canada's leading experts on asbestos says the province should aggressively search for former employees of a WR Grace vermiculite processing plant in Winnipeg to warn them of health hazards they faced on the job.

    Several former employees of WR Grace in the United States have died from asbestos-related illnesses from working in the company's Libby, Montana mine and in processing plants across the country. Others in the U.S. are suing the company after becoming ill from asbestos exposure.
