The NWAI remains opposed to the Sisson Mine project which intends to use water bodies frequented by fish to dispose of the mine waste that will be generated by the mining operations. We are encouraging concerned citizens to participate in the process by providing comments directly to Environment and Climate Change Canada before March 18, 2019. Please submit your comments directly to: ec.mmer-remm.ec@canada.ca
