We only have days to stop this.
Kinross Gold — the Toronto-based company already fined for over 3,500 water violations in the US — wants approval to dump inadequately treated industrial wastewater into rivers that flow to Grassy Narrows First Nations.
If approved, this project would create a million tonnes of waste rock and environmental risks that will last for generations. Grassy Narrows — still suffering from decades of mercury poisoning — is demanding a full rejection.
Experts have warned that the company’s plan won’t remove sulphate — a toxin that worsens mercury toxicity in fish, the same fish that Grassy Narrows families depend on.
As Joseph Fobister, Lead Negotiator of Lands Team at Grassy Narrows, put it, “The last thing we need is the threat of more poison in our water. It simply isn’t fair.”
Enough is enough. No more poison and more broken promises. Deny Kinross Gold’s permits.
