The Canadian government allowed U.S. military to test Agent Orange and other herbicides at CFB Gagetown for seven days total in 1966 and 67.
Andrea HuangHOST
Hundreds of Canadian veterans and civilian workers have since reported long-term, severe health issues they now believe came from exposure to the herbicides while on the base.
