US Edition3 more municipalities ask province to hit the brakes on uranium exploration in N.S.
- Three Nova Scotia municipalities recently voted unanimously to request the province pause uranium exploration licences pending more consultation.
- This request follows the provincial government’s May 14 decision to add uranium to its priority critical minerals list and open proposals for three known deposit sites.
- The municipalities seek an indefinite delay to improve public awareness amid ongoing opposition from Mi'kmaq leadership and concerns about lack of Indigenous consultation.
- Chief Tamara Young of the Pictou Landing community condemned the absence of proper consultation, stating it is unacceptable and contravenes the principles established by the United Nations regarding Indigenous peoples' rights.
- A lawyer representing Sipekne'katik First Nation warned the province’s engagement will determine if uranium development succeeds or repeats past project failures like the 2021 Alton Gas cancellation.
