  • Dear Ms. Bailey,   Thank you for providing Transport Canada with the opportunity to review the draft Environmental Assessment (EA) Report and draft potential conditions for the Springpole Gold Project. Our review has focused on areas within our core mandate, specifically impacts to navigation and the portages that support navigation. The draft EA considers these impacts in two sections: 8 and 9.1.   Section 8.1.1 examines the effects to the Waabizheshi Agaasademon Onigam portage through a cultural heritage lens. It concludes that, “with the implementation of these mitigation measures, the project is likely to result in residual adverse effects to Waabizheshi Agaasademon Onigam.” It is Transport Canada’s understanding that a determination on the significance of this residual effect has not been made as of this time.   Section 9 examines impacts to navigation and portaging in the context of the current ...

  •   Please say NO to the Gold Project.  Gold mining involves the use of cyanide, which is deadly to all life.  Indigenous peoples live here.  Their homes would be destroyed, and they would be subject to the toxicity of mining.  The mine would also destroy the habitats of fish, birds, woodland caribou, pine martens, and plenty of other animals. During this climate emergency, we can not afford to destroy forests and wildlife habitat.     Gold mining is harmful to all life, and to the planet.  Forcing fish and birds to be exposed to the effluent, and cutting them up to test them for selenium and other pollutants is cruel and outdated.  Canada is phasing out toxicity testing on animals.  Please switch to animal free methods of testing effluent and other substances.  For wild fish and birds, please stop lethal sampling and switch to humane non lethal bio monitoring like is done in ...
