Court date set for Syncrude following bird deaths

Syncrude Canada will make formal statements regarding the deaths of 31 great blue herons at its Mildred Lake site more than two years ago.
During a brief Wednesday morning appearance in a Fort McMurray provincial court, a judge scheduled a summary disposition to be heard between July 16 and 19. 
Syncrude spokesperson Will Gibson said the company is continuing discussions with the federal and provincial government regarding the charges, but could not elaborate on the nature of those talks.
