In Progress
Some months after we filed an application in Federal Court challenging the handling of the environmental assessment of the Tulsequah Chief mine in northern BC, plans to build a 160km road - which would have wiped out an entire herd of caribou - to the mine site were shelved.
Shortly after we filed an application
in Federal Court challenging the Department of Fisheries and Oceans and Transport Canada’s
handling of the environmental assessment of the Tulsequah Chief mine in northern
BC, plans to build a 160km road to the mine site were shelved. This particular plan would have wiped out an entire caribou herd, but the proponents are now instead proposing barging the ore out from the mine site.
Because our judicial review application focused primarily on the road, the case has now been temporarily put aside. The proponents have undertaken to provide us with notice if they intend to return to the road proposal, and in such case we have the option of reopening the judicial review.
