A divisive debate ensued at a community meeting in Fort Colougne called by Aldershot Resources Ltd. on December 15, 2006 – a Friday night just before Christmas. Representatives from the company, Natural Resources Canada, and Health Canada told the residents there was nothing to fear from uranium exploration or a mine.
