Thank you again for signing our petition against the burial of nuclear waste near in Northwestern Ontario.

A new Northern Ontario alliance of Indigenous and non-Indigenous volunteers and organizations, We the Nuclear Free North, is delivering a clear message across Northwestern Ontario: the risks of nuclear waste transportation and burial are too high and the voices of Northern Ontario residents must be heard.

Environment North is a part of this alliance.

This week, We the Nuclear Free North delivered information cards (click to see front and back) to almost 30,000 households, farms and businesses from Upsala to the Manitoba border outlining key concerns and offering information and support to those who want to learn more about the scheme to bury all of Canada’s high-level nuclear fuel waste in an area between Ignace and Dryden. The group has also launched a website as an information resource for those who are looking for reliable information about nuclear waste and the prospect of it being buried in Northwestern Ontario from sources that are independent of the nuclear power companies that generate and own the radioactive waste.

Many of you have helped! To learn how you can continue to help, visit the new website's You Can Help page. Download a poster - write to your elected representatives or to the paper - make a donation (your donation will go towards spreading the word and promoting opposition to nuclear waste burial in Northwestern Ontario).

Thank you once again! We are on our way.
