Uranium Mining: Say No in Kettle River Headwaters
In April 2008 the Provincial Government of British Columbia announced an effective Moratorium (a no registration reserve) on uranium mining in the Province and stated that: "all uranium deposits will remain undeveloped"
In October 2008 Boss Power Corp/Blizzard Uranium Corp filed a damages lawsuit against the Province and it has been reported that the Province's statement of defense says the reserve doesn't apply to Boss/Blizzard.
We call on the Provincial Government and the Ministry of Mines to confirm that the Moratorium (no registration reserve) still applies throughout the Province and that no uranium or thorium mining will be permitted in the Kettle River watershed.
Background on this and other threats to the Kettle River can be

The fact is that uranium mining is extremely damaging to the environment and that damage is not reversible.
All uranium should be kept in the ground. In these hard economic times we must be extra watchful to ensure that industry harmful to our environment and health not be given the go ahead.It seems our government can no longer be trusted in securing our lands and watersheds and keep them from being exploited by private interests who care little for social benefit. Protect our planet from our economy.
Please preserve the beautiful Kettle Valley for today and the future.
Please don't destroy our valley.
THERE IS ENOUGH O THIS ORE TO MINE WITHOUT DESTOYING PRECIOUS TROUT BEARING WATER.
I do not support the proposal to allow uranium mining in the Kettle River watershed. There is inadequate information and research available that supports this type of project and the damage it can cause to the environment in this are.
The Kettle river is a small part of a large watershed in BC-flowing south to the US into the Coloumbia river basin. This decision could affect many lives.
NO
I grew up swimming in this beautiful river, id love if my grand children could do the same!! Keep the river clean, and don't destroy it!
We must investigate damages caused by existing mines in Canada and look to positive sources of renewable energy.
I urge you to protect this beautiful province! British Columbia is a shining jewel of natural beauty. Do not allow the mining of radioactive materials!
I strongly support the activism against uranium mining in BC.
No mining in the Kettle Valley!!!
We humans are caretakers of this planet we live on, we must make every effort to conserve our planet for future generations. We must do our part in protecting all living things.
