Cumulative effects are being felt in the region. Every new project contributes to these effects. More needs to be done to address this.

If the Project will impact any areas identified to have archaeological potential, Stage 2 archaeological assessment should include, in addition to standard visual inspection, examining the stream banks in the modelled areas from watercraft to refine the areas of archaeological potential that require Stage 2 test pit survey.

  • Crawford Nickel Project – Impact Statement Review February 4th, 2025 Prepared by Alexandra Bridges, member of Mattagami First Nation for wider committees of Wabun Tribal Council, Mattagami First Nation, Matachewan First Nation and Flying Post First Nation General comments: The project magnitude, scope and duration is expected to have long-term negative consequences for the ability of our nations to practices their traditions, land uses and permanently alters the landscape of our ancestral territories. The historic Treaty 9 and its adhesions are distinct because of the ‘Taken-Up Clause’ that the Crown may take up land for settlement, mining, lumbering or other trading purposes (Tsuji, 2021). The Treaty right to hunt, fish and trap became enshrined into the Constitution Act of 1982, however the Government of Canada can override these rights and develop on First Nations territories if a project was deemed to be in the public interest, of which is a non-Indigenous ...

  • Impact Statement Review The Canada Nickel Impact Statement for the Crawford nickel mine, located north of Timmins in the traditional territory of Flying Post First Nation (46km southwest and closest impacted community), outlines the proposed mining project's potential environmental, treaty rights, social, cultural, economic and cumulative impacts from the proposed mine. The project, which aims to extract nickel and other minerals, is situated on the ancestral lands of Flying Post that are a signatory of Treaty 9, signed on July 16th, 1906, by Chief Blackice at the headwaters of Groundhog Lake. The Impact Assessment Agency of Canada (IAAC) is responsible for evaluating the project's potential effects on Indigenous rights, the environment, and local communities. Concerns have been raised by a number of members of Flying Post First Nation (particularly members living in their traditional homelands of in and around the city of Timmins, where the project is being developed) ...

  • Please say NO to the Gold Project.  Gold mining involves the use of cyanide, which is deadly to all life.  Indigenous peoples live here.  Their homes would be destroyed, and they would be subject to the toxicity of mining.  The mine would also destroy the habitats of fish, birds, woodland caribou, pine martens, and plenty of other animals. During this climate emergency, we can not afford to destroy forests and wildlife habitat.     Gold mining is harmful to all life, and to the planet.  Forcing fish and birds to be exposed to the effluent, and cutting them up to test them for selenium and other pollutants is cruel and outdated.  Canada is phasing out toxicity testing on animals.  Please switch to animal free methods of testing effluent and other substances.  For wild fish and birds, please stop lethal sampling and switch to humane non lethal bio monitoring like is done in ...
