ACTION ALERT: Sherritt Must Be Accountable for All Human and Environmental Damage Caused by the Ambatovy Project
Wednesday, May 2, 2012

Before the Ambatovy project is allowed to continue and before the delivery of approval to start production, the rights and needs of peasants and people affected by the construction phase – in regard to impacts on land, water, fish and forests – must be respected; the costs for compensation as result of removals, damage, and accidents must be paid; the promises made to communities when they were relocated must be fully honoured. The further displacement of people for the project must cease immediately.

BACKGROUNDER: Cheviot Mine
Tuesday, April 13, 2004

Sierra Club of Canada/MiningWatch Canada

First proposed in 1996 and reviewed by federal-provincial hearings in 1997 and 2000, Cheviot was not developed due its poor economics and public opposition. Now the company has commenced a different and potentially more destructive mine project. In 1997, Ottawa papers reported that the federal government had delayed their decision on Cheviot while they "worked on a strategy to sell the controversial project to the public."?

[Joint news release] Sierra Club of Canada (SCC) and MiningWatch Canada have launched a three-pronged campaign of action to stop the massive and highly controversial Cheviot open-pit coal mine. Spanning a width equivalent to that of Alberta's capitol, Edmonton, Cheviot would strip the heart out of a nationally significant wildland, located adjacent to Jasper National Park.
