B.C. is fast-tracking Eskay Creek mine, though it won’t provide critical minerals — and some community members and scientists worry about environmental impacts thenarwhal.ca/eskay-creek-mi…

"I think it's important that residents are able to have meaningful input and shift how the project is designed, or elements of it, so that their interests are protected and that the project doesn't go ahead if it doesn't meet certain standards." #bcpoli cbc.ca/news/canada/british-c…

Mining regulations and environmental assessments were developed to protect the environment and public health and safety. If projects are allowed to forego those processes, B.C. could set the stage for catastrophic impacts thenarwhal.ca/mining-dirty-d…

Our #mining regulations don’t do enough to protect our waters and communities today. We’re concerned about the push to fast track and subsidize “critical minerals”.

In this week’s newsletter, we look to the 10th anniversary of Canada’s worst mining waste disaster, and ask — has anything changed? #bcpoli thenarwhal.ca/newsletter-mou…

August 4th marks the 10th anniversary of the catastrophic dam failure at Mount Polley. The collapse released 25 million cubic meters, the equivalent of 10,000 Olympic swimming pools, of tailings & water into critical sockeye salmon habitat.

Shocking that this mine is continuing to discharge heavy metals into Quesnel Lake, an important wild sockeye salmon lake.
On the 10th anniversary of Canada’s worst mining waste disaster — which dumped billions of litres of waste into the environment — Imperial Metals wants to expand the same tailings pond dam at its notorious Mount Polley mine. thenarwhal.ca/https-thenarwh… #bcpoli Via @sobittersosweet
