SUMMARY:Stand Up for Wildlife- Stop Nuclear Waste!
DESCRIPTION:We’re back in court on November 12 to defend the Kichi Sibi and our watershed from a nuclear waste megadump! Concerned Citizens of Renfrew County and Area\, Kebaowek First Nation\, Sierra Club Canada and the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility took Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) to court and WON . . . but CNL has appealed.\nJOIN US as CNL’s appeal is heard\, and citizen groups and First Nations again argue before a judge why the law must be respected.\nA judge said that Environment Canada should not have issued a “Species at Risk Permit” for the radioactive waste dump to be built on CNL’s chosen site near the Ottawa River\, where it will destroy habitat for protected and endangered species. CNL is a creation of and funded by the federal government – so it’s the feds fighting citizens in Federal Court.\nJoin us from Noon to 2 PM in front of 90 Sparks St. Do it for the endangered bats\, songbirds\, turtles\, Eastern wolves and bears living on the site of the future radioactive megadump!\nMany of these animals are sacred to Indigenous peoples\, as is the Kichi Sibi. Read more about the unique biodiversity and threatened species at the Chalk River site:\nhttps://concernedcitizens.net/…/ottawa-river…/\nhttps://raventrust.com/…/radioactive-waste-away-from…/\nBACKGROUND:\nThe Canadian Nuclear Safety Commission has approved construction of a seven-storey radioactive mound beside the Ottawa River at Chalk River Laboratories\, a federal nuclear research facility 180 km north-west of Ottawa.\nThe waste facility construction will remove 10\,000 mature trees and destroy vital habitat for endangered bats\, the Canadian Warbler\, the rare Golden-Winged Warbler\, Blanding’s Turtles\, endangered Eastern Wolves and active Black Bear dens.\nThe megadump will hold one million tonnes of radioactive and other hazardous waste\, threatening the drinking water of millions of Canadians. Ten of the 11 Algonquin First Nations are opposed to the project\, and a Federal Court judge agreed that free\, prior and informed consent was not respected.\nMore than 140 municipalities are also opposed. Canadian taxpayers are footing the multi-billion-dollar bill\, but a corporate consortium is calling the shots. The waste needs to be cleaned up\, but there are better ways to do so. \nTen things Canadians need to know about the giant radioactive waste mound coming to the Ottawa River
