Our submission for the mine permitting process is in! It includes a 76-page memorandum of argument,  2 expert reports, a petition of over 1,300 signatures, and scores of affidavits and impact statements. The overall package totals nearly 2,000 pages. It shows that the mine permit application fails to meet the standards set by the province and that permits should not be issued for this mine.  We demonstrate that: The application is fundamentally unsatisfactory, has numerous inconsistencies and gaps, and lacks necessary detail; The application fails to sufficiently protect the environment; and Multiple breaches of procedural fairness have severely compromised the permitting process. Our submission is quite an achievement for a small community organization. Please take a moment now and make a donation at   our GoFundMe page   to help us continue the work to preserve our environment, health, and way of life. Thank you for your continued support, Save Record Ridge Action Committee

Engage in the process recently initiated by the Environmental Assessment Office !  There is now an ongoing process to determine if the project should go to Environmental Assessment An environmental group called Wildsight submitted a letter requesting the Record Ridge mine be subjected to an Environmental Assessment.  Although the proponent claims the project is a quarry, SRRAC maintains that the project is a mine and given the quantities to be extracted it automatically triggers an environmental assessment. We are working with an independent expert that will study this matter in further detail.  Even if the Environmental Assessment Office does not categorize the mine as a mine, we assert that the potential impacts of the project are sufficient to require an Environmental Assessment. We are working to provide a submission that provides clear evidence of these potential impacts.  Submit your comments to the EAO by June 14. Tell the EAO why you think the Record Ridge mine should be categ
