مبادرة مراقبة التعدين في كندا

MiningWatch Canada is a pan-Canadian initiative supported by environmental, social justice, Aboriginal and labour organisations from across the country. We were created by our founding members in 1999 to address the need for a co-ordinated public interest response to the threats to public health, water and air quality, fish and wildlife habitat and community interests posed by irresponsible mineral policies and practices in Canada and around the world.

The aims of MiningWatch Canada are to:

  • ensure that mineral development practices are consistent with the goals of sustainable communities and ecological health;
  • strengthen technical and strategic skills within communities and organisations faced with impacts of mineral development;
  • impose appropriate terms and conditions on mining and in some cases prevent the development of projects that would adversely affect areas of ecological, economic and cultural significance; and
  • advocate policies to improve the efficiency and reduce the risks of mineral development.
