- MINES AT MEADOW LAKE?
-
- The native blockade at Meadow Lake in northern Saskatchewan,
- blocking the access of loggers into areas that are being clearcut,
- continues despite the arrest of a number of elders and organizers.
-
- Some suspect that this issue is not only clearcutting. Northern
- Saskatchewan has large uranium resources, and they fear that
- clearcutting the Meadow Lake site may just be the first step towards
- opening the area up for uranium mining.
-
- The blockade is under constant RCMP surveillance, and they are
- concerned about their ability to remain on the site when winter
- comes. Donations can be sent to Protectors of Mother Earth, Bank
- Account #6095442, Royal Bank of Canada, 130 Centre St., Meadow
- Lake, Saskatchewan, S0M 1V0.
-
- A coalition of groups supporting the people of Meadow Lake has
- formed in Toronto. A vigil in support of the blockade will be held
- on September 6, at QueenUs Park, beginning at 7 p.m. and going on
- through the night. You can contact:
