3 more municipalities ask province to hit the brakes on uranium exploration in N.S.
- Three more municipalities in Nova Scotia have voted this week to request that the province impose an open-ended hold on uranium exploration licences.
- The province’s push for uranium development follows the repeal of a 40-year-old ban and the February bill opening the way for uranium mining and hydraulic fracturing.
- Leaders representing Mi’kmaq communities in Nova Scotia, along with legal representatives from Sipekne’katik First Nation, assert that the provincial government’s inadequate consultation with Indigenous groups will increase distrust and damage their relationship.
- On May 14, the provincial government designated uranium as one of its key critical minerals and launched a request for proposals targeting three locations, covering approximately 2,444 hectares, where uranium deposits have been identified.
- Municipal leaders and Indigenous representatives warn that moving forward without proper consultation risks repeating past failures like the scrapped Alton Gas project and could undermine economic and community trust.
